Wyspa Księcia Walii[1] (ang. Prince of Wales Island, w lokalnym języku Muralug) – wyspa w Cieśninie Torresa, położona u wybrzeża Australii, na zachód od przylądka Jork i należąca do australijskiego stanu Queensland. Jest to największa spośród wysp w grupie Wysp w Cieśninie Torresa[2], licząca 203 km² powierzchni[3]. W 2016 roku zamieszkiwało ją 109 osób[4].

Wyspa jest pagórkowata i na znacznym obszarze zalesiona. Najwyższe wzniesienie ma wysokość 232 m n.p.m. Niewielka część wyspy nadaje się pod uprawę, brak tu też stałego źródła wody słodkiej[2].

W przeszłości ważny dla lokalnej gospodarki był eksport muszli perłowych. Zanik popytu w połowie XX wieku przyczynił się do emigracji wielu mieszkańców na kontynent[2].
