Mud Islands Game Reserve is a protected area in South Australia covering ten islands at the southern side of Lake Alexandrina about 19 kilometres (12 miles) south-east of Goolwa. The game reserve is described as providing "an ideal habitat for water birds, particularly waterfowl" and that "duck shooting is permitted during open season". Since 2000, the game reserve has been located within the boundaries of the gazetted locality, Coorong.

The game reserve is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area. In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.
