Spectacle Island is a 36.4-hectare (89.9-acre) island located in Australia's Hawkesbury River near its junction with Mooney Mooney Creek, to the north of Sydney, New South Wales.

The island was designated a nature reserve in 1972 and is listed on the Register of the National Estate for its scientific importance as a remnant of the natural environment of Sydney, for the abundance of aboriginal sites it contains, and particularly diverse vegetation. It is managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service ^[1].

The island is part of the suburb of Mooney Mooney and administered as part of the City of Gosford^[2].
