Venison Island is an island off of the coast of Labrador.

The island is separated from Stony Island by a narrow channel called Venison Tickle and measures 1200 m by 550 m.[1] The island once had a busy wharf and fishing community, a wireless telegraph station (code VI)[2] and a population of 36 year-round residents in 1901.[3]
