Colt Island (Irish: Inis Coilt, meaning "Colt Island") is the closest and smallest of three low-lying, uninhabited islets off the headland of Skerries, County Dublin in Ireland. It is an island of low cliffs and lies about 0.5 km from the mainland, with vegetation consisting of grasses, brambles and other species such as hogweed. Like the other two Skerries Islands, it is important for breeding seabirds and wintering water fowl.
