Herbert Island (Chiĝulax̂[1] in Aleut) is an island in the Islands of Four Mountains subgroup of the Aleutian archipelago. It is five km from Chuginadak Island, separated by the Chuginadak Pass. Yunaska Island is 25 km southeast of Herbert Island.

Measuring 10 km across, Herbert Island is somewhat circular in shape and is covered by the 1,280 meter Herbert Volcano, whose two km wide caldera is one of the largest in the Aleutian Islands. There have been no recorded eruptions here.
