Green Iceland ( Māori: Okaihae ) is an island two kilometers off the coast of Dunedin in New Zealand. The nearest town is Waldronville.

The name of one of the suburbs of Dunedin is derived indirectly from the island from, it came from the Green bush Iceland, an area of natural bush, which extends from the valley in which lies the town, over the hills to the coast in the island. Green Iceland is uninhabited and is located 13 km southwest of Dunedin, near the mouth of the Kaikorai Lagoon.

It is believed that this is the ' Isle of Wight ', on which the sealers Brothers from Sydney, which was chartered by Robert Campbell and led by Robert Mason, in November 1809 exposed eight of eleven convicts. Among them was William Tucker. Alternatively, the ' Isle of Wight ' and the few miles south to Iceland Taieri be, in this case Green Iceland may be the ' Ragged Rock' been where the other three men were exposed. Some of the outcasts claimed to have spent the time on November 9, 1809 to December 20, 1810 on the island.

Green Iceland was formerly known as St Michael 's Mount. It was assumed that this name was derived from the same island of the coast of Cornwall. However, it is likely that it was named after the mother ship Tommy Chase Lands, St. Michael, as he toured the area in the 1820s. He told Edward Shortland, that he had in trying to land on the island a boat with all hands lost. He stayed alone on the island and had been picked up by another boat the next day.

In the 1880s, has been mined on the island guano.
