Gregory Island (76°49′S 162°58′E) is a small island lying just off the east coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica, 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) northeast of Cape Archer. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (1901–04), at which time it was thought to be a coastal point and was named "Gregory Point," for John Walter Gregory, director of the civilian staff of the expedition. It was determined to be an island by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13.
