Shenick Island (Irish: Oileán na Sionnach, meaning Island of the Fox) lies east of Skerries, County Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. It is populated only by seals, that harbour on the western side of the island and a few different species of seabirds nest there. It may be reached by boat but at low tide you can reach it by crossing a sand bank.

The most prominent feature on Shenick Island is a Martello tower. Some access to this is also possible at times.
