Shenick Island or Shenick's Island (Irish: Oileán na Sionnach, meaning "fox island") is an island that lies east of Skerries, County Dublin, Ireland. It is populated only by seals, that harbour on the western side of the island and a few different species of seabirds nest there. It may be reached by boat but at low tide you can reach it by crossing a sand bank.

The most prominent feature on Shenick Island is a Martello tower. It is possible to climb into this with some effort.
