Disko Island (Greenlandic: Qeqertarsuaq, Danish: Diskoøen) is a large island in Baffin Bay, off the west coast of Greenland. It has an area of 8,578 km² (3,312 sq mi), making it the second largest of Greenland after the main island and one of the 100 largest islands in the world.

The island's Greenlandic name Qeqertarsuaq means The Large Island (from qeqertaq = island).

The island has a length of about 160 km (ca. 99 mi), rising to an average height of 975 m (ca. 3,199 ft), peaking at 1,919 m (ca. 6,296 ft). The port of Qeqertarsuaq (named after the island, and also known as Godhavn) lies on its southern coast. Blæsedalen valley is north of Qeqertarsuaq.

The island is separated from Nuussuaq Peninsula in the northeast by the Sullorsuaq Strait. To the south of the island lies Disko Bay, an inlet bay of Baffin Bay.

Mineral deposits, fossil finds and geological formations add to interest in the area. One of the interesting geological features is the native iron found at the island. A 22-ton (44,000 lbs; 20 tonnes) lump mixture of iron and iron carbide (cohenite) has been found. There are only a few places on earth where native iron is found which is not of meteoric origin.
