Blacklead Island[3] is a Baffin Island offshore islet located in the Arctic Archipelago in Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region.

It lies in Cumberland Sound, northwest of Kikiktaluk Island, approximately 5 km (3.1 mi) from Harrison Point and 10 km (6.2 mi) from Niante Harbour.

Later used by Europeans, it was known as the Blacklead Island Whaling Station, and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1985.

[4][5][6] In 1894 the whaling station was purchased by Mr. C. Noble and offered to Edmund Peck as an Anglican mission.
