Swinburne Iceland is an artificial island in the Lower New York Bay, the mouth of the Hudson River in New York, just west of Coney Iceland.

The island was filled up in 1860. It was used to immigrants with contagious diseases who arrived at Ellis Iceland, to keep them in quarantine. The last time you were using the facilities on the island in 1910, when a few cases of cholera occurred on an immigrant ship.

The name of the island was once Dix Iceland, but was renamed in recognition of the work of the physician John Swinburne. Today the island is a historic monument under the direction of the National Park Service.
