Toledo Island (Bulgarian: остров Толедо, romanized: ostrov Toledo, IPA: [ˈɔstrof toˈlɛdo]) is the southern of two rocky islands in Smyadovo Cove on the west coast of Rugged Island in the South Shetland Islands. The feature is 320 m (1,050 ft) long in east–west direction and 110 m (360 ft) wide. It is separated from Rugged Island to the southeast and Prosechen Island to the north by 40 and 60 m (130 and 200 ft) wide passages respectively. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
The island is named after Joaquín de Toledo y Parra (1780–1819), Captain of the Spanish warship San Telmo that sank with 644 men on board off the north coast of Livingston Island in September 1819.
