Woronkofski Island is an island in the Alexander Archipelago of southeastern Alaska, United States. It lies near the northwest corner of Wrangell Island, just west of the city of Wrangell, between it and Zarembo Island to the west. To the south lies Etolin Island. Woronkofski Island has a land area of 59.382 km² (22.9275 sq mi) and was unpopulated at the 2000 census.
