Strawberry Island (Ojibwe: Odemin-minis) is an uninhabited island on Flambeau Lake, on the reservation of the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (Ojibwe: Waaswaaganing) in northern Wisconsin. The island is considered sacred by the local Chippewa people. In 1910 the island was sold to a non-native family, and in subsequent decades was the subject of an ownership dispute and controversy over potential development. In 2013 it was repurchased by the Lac du Flambeau tribe.
