The Partridge Island, part of the Partridge Island Group, is an 103-hectare (250-acre) island that lies close to the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, Australia. The island is situated in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, between Bruny Island and the mainland of Tasmania and is part of the South Bruny National Park.

Flora and fauna
The vegetation is mainly dry eucalypt forest with a grassy understorey. Little penguins breed on the island. The endangered forty-spotted pardalote is present. European rabbits were introduced to the island but have since been eradicated. The eastern blue-tongued lizard has been recorded.
Acquisition
Blackberries and English ivy have invaded the bush and the jetty has become hazardous. In 1998 volunteers removed approximately four to five metric tons (3.9 to 4.9 long tons; 4.4 to 5.5 short tons) of washed-up rubbish.
