South Pacific (south of French Tuamotu islands and east of New Zealand) Ernest‑Legouvé Reef was reported in 1902 by the unnamed captain of the French ship "Ernest‑Legouvé". The reef was about 100 meters long and another reef was sighted near it.

It is located at 35°12′S, 150°40′W.

The reef was recorded in Paris Notice to Mariners 164/1122/1902, and the International Hydrographic Bureau stated it on February 9, 1957. It was searched for in 1982 and 1983, but not found. It may well be a phantom island.

The fact that it is missing from some maps and is present on others shows its current state is unverified.
