Mistaken Island is an uninhabited island in the Dampier Archipelago, in the Pilbara, Western Australia.

Its area is about 10 hectares (25 acres). It is connected to East Mid Intercourse Island, and thence to the mainland, by a causeway/bridge.

The island is adjacent to the Dampier salt evaporation pond and has been used as a salt port by Dampier Salt since 1972. Over 3.5 million tonnes (7.7 billion pounds) are exported annually, with the bulk of this going to industrial use.
