Cockroach Island is an uninhabited island of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. It is located near North Sound, Virgin Gorda, amongst a collection of islands known as "The Dogs" or "The Dog Islands".

The roseate tern (Sterna dougallii) is found on the island.[1] Reef flats north of the island provide habitat for Montastrea cavernosa and Gorgonia corals.[2]
