Reedy Island is a small island in the middle of the channel of the Delaware River near its mouth on Delaware Bay in the U.S. state of Delaware. It is located approximately 1 mi (1.6 km) east of Port Penn, Delaware and 5 mi (8 km) southwest of Salem, New Jersey.
The island was the location of Reedy Island Range Front Light. The Reedy Island Range Rear light, in nearby Taylors Bridge, is a historic lighthouse first established in 1910. The light is operated by the United States Coast Guard. The nearby keeper's house was destroyed by arson in 2002.
