Yugeshima (弓削島) is an inhabited island located in northeastern Ehime Prefecture, Japan, in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu.

The island is mostly hilly, with its highest point at 210 meters above sea level.

Around the end of the Heian period, the island was the center of a shōen landed estate (Yuge Island Shōen ruins) controlled by retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa and was noted for its production of salt.

[1] The estate later became property of the temple of Tō-ji in Kyoto and its detailed records from the Kamakura period are regarded as a valuable historic resource.

[1][2] The island became part of Yuge Village in Ehime Prefecture, with the establishment of the modern municipalities system on December 15, 1889.
