Fallen Jerusalem Island is an uninhabited island of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. It obtained its name from the large number of oversized volcanic boulders that scatter the island (some of which weigh thousands of tons) which give it the vague resemblance of a destroyed city.

It is located south of Virgin Gorda
