The Gravina Islands are a group of islands that are a part of the Alexander Archipelago in southeast Alaska. The islands are bounded by the Clarence Strait on the west and the Revillagigedo Channel on the east.

The Spanish explorer Jacinto Caamaño named the Gravina Islands group in 1792, in honor of Federico Carlos Gravina y Nápoli.[1]
