Grantham Island is an uninhabited island occupying 51 hectares of Proper Bay, Spencer Gulf, South Australia.[1] The nearest geographical feature on the mainland is Murray Point, which is also undeveloped. The island was named by explorer Matthew Flinders on 25 February 1802, after the municipal and parliamentary borough of Grantham, Lincolnshire, England.[2] It lies 3 kilometres south of the Port Lincoln marina and is well vegetated.
