Calliope Island is an unofficial name for an island near Whangārei, New Zealand. The tiny, roughly triangular-shaped island, is located in Urquhart Bay, just within the mouth of Whangārei Harbour.

In the early 20th or late 19th century, Calliope Island's plant life was subject to illegal burning.[1]
