MacDougall's Island (formerly Basaltic Island ^{[2] [3]} ) is a tidal island ^[4] in the Saint George Parish of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada in the Bay of Fundy. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]}

It is noted to have purple fluorite, as well as pyrite, sphalerite, galena, malachite and chalcopyrite. ^[3]

In September 1997, the island was used for dye dispersion trials in Passamaquoddy Bay, seeking to trace the route of sea louse pesticides. ^[9]
