Wedge Island is a locality in South Australia located on Wedge Island at the mouth of Spencer Gulf. It is located about 196 kilometres (122 miles) west of the Adelaide city centre.
Its boundaries were created in 2014 for the purpose of providing property addressing for the island's residents. The locality was given the island's name in respect to the long established use.
