Lea-Hutaff Island (formerly Lea Island and Hutaff Island) is a 5,641-acre (22.83 km²) uninhabited barrier island and marsh system located off the coast of North Carolina. Lea Island State Natural Area is a 25-acre (0.10 km²)^[2] North Carolina State Park on the northern end of the island.

The island is separated from Topsail Island to the north by New Topsail Inlet and Figure Eight Island to the South by Rich Inlet and from the mainland by Topsail Sound. The four mile long landmass was consolidated in 1998 when Old Topsail Inlet (also known as Elmore's Inlet) that had separated Lea Island and Hutaff Island (also known as Elmore's Island) closed.^[3]
