Bedout Island is a small Western Australian island on the Pilbara coast. It lies 42 kilometres (26 mi) offshore from Larrey Point and the mouth of the De Grey River, and 96 kilometres (60 mi) north-east of Port Hedland.

It was named by Baudin during his exploration in the early 1800s after Jacques Bedout.^[1]^: 18
