Citadel Island is a small, rugged, granite island in the Glennie group of islands off the west coast of Wilsons Promontory, Victoria, Australia.[1] It is the site of the first automatic acetylene powered lighthouse installed by Australia's Commonwealth Lighthouse Service.[2] There is no public access. The island is part of the Wilsons Promontory Islands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for breeding seabirds.[3]
