Komuniga Island (Bulgarian: остров Комунига, romanized: ostrov Komuniga, IPA: [ˈɔstrof komoˈniɡɐ]) is an ice-covered island extending 1.3 km in southeast-northwest direction and 1.1 km wide, the southernmost in the Correo group in Bigo Bay on Graham Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica, off the southwest coast of Magnier Peninsula. It emerged as a distinct geographical entity following the retreat of Magnier Peninsula's ice cap in the first decade of the 21st century.
The island is named after the settlement of Komuniga in Southern Bulgaria.
