Swan Island is a five-piece rock band from Portland, Oregon. Their music is influenced by classic rock, New Wave, prog rock, and metal, as well as Queercore bands from the Pacific Northwest.

The band was started in March 2004 by drummer Vera Domini (Menagerie) and guitarist Aubree Bernier-Clarke (Half-Seas-Over). They were soon joined by guitarist Torrence Stratton, vocalist Brisa Gonzalez, and bassist Bob E. Kendrick (Shemo and owner of 16 records). Swan Island has performed with Sleater-Kinney, Mary Timony, LKN, The Gossip, Tracy and the Plastics, and others on the west coast. In the summer of 2006 they performed at the week-long "Homo-A-Go-Go" festival in Olympia, Washington.

Many of the members of Swan Island have been involved with Rock and Roll Camp for Girls.
