Vaugondy Island (Bulgarian: остров Вогонди, romanizedostrov Vogondi, IPA: [ˈɔstrov voɡonˈdi]) is a mostly ice-covered island on the northeast side of Johannessen Harbour in the Pitt group of Biscoe Islands, Antarctica. The feature extends 1.85 km in north-south direction and 1.68 km in east-west.

The island is named after the French cartographer Didier Robert de Vaugondy (1723-1786) who published a map of the south polar region in 1777.
