Patos Island is a small island in the San Juan Islands of the U.S. state of Washington. The entire island consists of Patos Island State Park.

The name comes from the Spanish pato, meaning "duck", which was given to the island in 1792 by Commander Dionisio Alcalá Galiano of the Sutil and Captain Cayetano Valdés y Flores of the Mexicana.^[1]
