Dundas Island (French: île Dundas) is an island on the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada, on the west side of Chatham Sound to the northwest of Prince Rupert.
The island and its archipelago were named in 1792 by Captain George Vancouver in honour of the Rt.
Henry Dundas (1742–1811), Treasurer of the Navy, 1783–1801, who was granted the title of Viscount Melville in 1802 and also named Baron Dunira.
Dundas' son, Robert Dundas, 2nd Viscount Melville is the namesake of Melville Island in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, and also Melville Island in Australia, which was the site of the short-lived Fort Dundas.
