Beginish (Beiginis in Irish) is one of the Blasket Islands, County Kerry, Ireland. It is a low-lying island (14 metres) in Blasket Sound, between Great Blasket Island and the mainland. It has a large colony of Arctic Terns. The island is also the main birthing site for grey seals.

Beiginis translates as "Little Island". There is at least one other island in County Kerry called Beginish: it lies at the mouth of the river Fertha about 1 km from Valentia Island. It was previously inhabited but the two houses are now only used in summer.[citation needed]
