Great Glennie Island is a small, rugged, granite island in the Glennie group of islands off the west coast of Wilsons Promontory, Victoria, Australia.[1] It is part of the Wilsons Promontory Islands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for breeding seabirds.[2]
The island was sighted by Lieutenant James Grant, in Lady Nelson, on 10 December 1800 and named "after Mr. George Glennie, a particular friend of Captain Schank’s, to whom I was under personal obligations".[3][4]
