Craggy Island is a narrow island marked by crags, lying in Hero Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and forming the northeast side of Blythe Bay. Its surface area is 9 hectares (22 acres).[1]) The area was frequented by early nineteenth century English and American sealers operating from Blythe Bay.

The feature was charted and named descriptively by the Discovery Investigations in 1935.
