Teigan Island is a 300 m long rock island in the archipelago of the Windmill Islands off the Budd coast of the East Antarctic Wilkesland . It is located 160 m northeast of the island of Bosner Island near the southern end of the archipelago.
The island was mapped on the basis of aerial photographs of the US American Operation Highjump (1946-1947) from February 1947. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1963 after Bernarr Teigan (1920-1999) of the United States Navy , member of the Central Task Group in Operation Highjump and in January 1948 involved in the creation of photographs of the Windmill Islands in Operation Windmill .
