Cobrador Island is an island in the province of Romblon in the Philippines. It has one barangay named Cobrador,Romblon,Romblon.

"Cobrador" is derived from a Spanish word of a variety or kind of "stone fish" called "Cobrador" because the island seems to be like a fish half afloat when seen from afar. Its old name was "Naguso" which is the Romblon Visayan equivalent of "Cobrador" fish.

Romblomanon is the native language of the island's inhabitants.
