Speedwell Island (formerly Eagle Island; Spanish Isla Águila) is one of the Falkland Islands, lying in the Falkland Sound, southwest of Lafonia, East Falkland. It has an area of 74 square kilometres.

The island is rodent-free, and thus a haven for penguins and nesting seabirds. It is run as a sheep farm.
