Dannebrog Island (Danish: Dannebrogsø) is an uninhabited island of the King Christian IX Land coast, Sermersooq municipality, southern Greenland.

The island was named by officer of the Danish Navy Wilhelm August Graah and it was the northernmost point he reached during his 1828-1830 expedition along the southeast coast of Greenland.[1]
