Flinders Island is an island that forms part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park at the tip of Cape Melville, Queensland in Bathurst Bay.

[1] It is north of Denham Island in the Flinders Group National Park.

The traditional owners formed part of a multi-lingual cultural complex extending from Bathurst Head to Cape Melville, which once, prior to the destructive advent of settlers, lugger crews in the late 19th century colonial period, numbered an estimated 200 people.

[1] It became one of the earliest centres for recruiting local hands for the pearling trade.

The island is a popular tourist destination with an anchorage point for yachts.
