Dorsey Island is a mainly ice-covered island, 22 kilometres (12 nmi) long, lying in Wilkins Sound off the west coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The highest point of the island is Mount Snell which rises to about 500 m. It was discovered and roughly mapped from aircraft by members of East Base of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, and was named after , of the U.S. Weather Bureau, a meteorologist at East Base who devised a method of predicting with exceptional accuracy the periods in which weather would be suitable for flying. It was remapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960. The position of the island and its outline were corrected from U.S. Landsat imagery of 1973–75 and 1979.

| - Dorsey Island ist eine hauptsächlich vereiste und 20 km lange Insel inmitten des Wilkins-Schelfeises vor der Westküste der antarktischen Alexander-I.-Insel. Entdeckt und grob kartiert wurde sie von Mitgliedern der East Base bei der United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941). Luftaufnahmen der US-amerikanischen Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) dienten 1960 dem britischen Geographen Derek Searle vom Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey für eine detailliertere Kartierung. Eine Korrektur ihrer geografischen Position erfolgte anhand von Landsataufnahmen aus den Jahren von 1973 bis 1975 sowie von 1979. Namensgeber der Insel ist Herbert Grove Dorsey Jr. (1912–1977), Meteorologe der United States Antarctic Service Expedition. (de)
