Swindle Island is an island on the North Coast of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is located south of Princess Royal Island[1] on the Inside Passage shipping route. Price Island lies just south of Swindle Island. Both are located within the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District.

Swindle Island is part of a volcanic center called the Milbanke Sound Group which includes several monogenetic cinder cones. Kitasu Hill on the western side of Swindle Island is a young basaltic cinder cone that produced lava flows that extend to the north.[2]
