Eilean Chathastail (Eng: Castle Island) is one of the Small Isles in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It is roughly 1 km (1100 yards) in length and lies only 100 m off the south eastern coast of the island of Eigg. Eilean Chathastail protects the only harbour on Eigg at Galmisdale.

Eigg lighthouse was built on the island in 1906 by brothers David A. and Charles Alexander Stevenson.
