East Ongul Island is an island in the Flatvaer Islands off of Antarctica. It is 2 kilometres (1 nmi) long, lying immediately east of the northern part of Ongul Island at the east side of the entrance of Lutzow-Holm Bay.

This island was originally mapped as a part of Ongul Island by Norwegian cartographers who worked from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (LCE), 1936–37. In 1957, the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) discovered the Nakano-seto Strait, a small straight separating Ongul and East Ongul islands. The name Ongul Island was retained for the largest island in the group, and the smaller island was given the name East Ongul Island. Showa Station, a Japanese permanent research station, was built on East Ongul Island in 1957.
