The Mount Chappell Island, part of the Badger Group within the Furneaux Group, is a 323-hectare (800-acre) unpopulated granite island with a distinctive central hill, located in Bass Strait, lying west of the Flinders and Cape Barren islands, Tasmania, south of Victoria, in south-eastern Australia.

[1] The island is private property, used for grazing sheep and Cape Barren geese, and is a classic example of natural habitat degradation caused by human activities.

[4] The island's habitats have been severely modified by slashing, ploughing, grazing and burning.

Little penguins used to breed in large numbers but have since ceased to do so.

Apart from sheep, mammals introduced deliberately or inadvertently are the house mouse, a species of rat and feral cats.
