Vaughan Island (54°0′S 38°11′W) is a small, conical tussock-covered island close east of Main Island in the Willis Islands, South Georgia. It was roughly charted by DI personnel on the Discovery in the period between 1926–30, and was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Lieutenant Commander Hugh L.F. Vaughan, Royal Navy, First Lieutenant of HMS Owen, which surveyed this area in 1961.
