Bielecki Island is a small island, one of the Joubin Islands, off the south-west point of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of the British Antarctic Territory.

Following United States Antarctic Research Program field work from "Palmer Station" from 1965, the island was named after Johannes N. Bielecki, assistant engineer in US RV Hero 1968-69, who was on the ship's first Antarctic voyage, visiting Palmer Station in 1968.
