Biggs Island is a small island forming the easternmost of the Henkes Islands, off the south end of Adelaide Island. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963 for Thomas Biggs, a Falkland Islander, coxswain of the launch of RRS John Biscoe, which was used by the Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit to chart this island in 1963.
