Golding Island is one of the Falkland Islands, just to the north of West Falkland in Keppel Sound and near Keppel and Pebble Islands. It has a complex shape, with narrow headlands and bays, and a pond in the middle.

Golding Island is a sheep farm, and was previously farmed together with Pebble Island and Keppel Island by the Dean Brothers. It is now owned by the Hirtle family.

During the Falklands War, an airman, Capitan Garcia ejected from his aircraft, an FAA A-4C Skyhawk after a raid on San Carlos Water. His body was not recovered, but was washed ashore in a dinghy in 1983 [1][2]
