Ella Island, or Ella Ø, is an island in East-Greenland, at the mouth of Kempe Fjord in the northern end of King Oscar Fjord. The island is within Northeast Greenland National Park. It was named by A.G. Nathorst during his 1899 expedition as "Ellas Ö" for his wife Amy Rafaela (called Ella) Windahl (1858–1936).

Lauge Koch had a cabin on the northern side of the island named "Eagle's nest".The botanist Thorvald Sørensen spent the years 1931-1935 here. His observations formed basis for his doctoral thesis (1941).

During the second world war, US forces had an installation on the island called "Bluie East Four" [ [http://members.eunet.at/castaway/stations/gro-stations.html Greenland Stations ] ] .

In 1971 a meteorite was found on Ella Island [ [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1975Metic..10....1C 1975Metic..10 1C Page 1 ] ] , classified as a L-6 chondrite.
