Benjamin Island (or Benjamin Islet) is an island in the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska, United States. It was named by Captain Lester A. Beardslee of the United States Navy in 1880. Located off the eastern shore of Favorite Channel, it is northwest of the city of Juneau. The name was collected by the United States Geological Survey between 1976 and 1981, and entered into the Geographic Names Information System on March 31, 1981.〔(USGS GNIS Feature Detail Report: Benjamin Island )〕
Benjamin Island is long and wide.〔U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. ''United States Coast Pilot: Alaska, Part I: Dixon Entrance to Yakutat Bay''. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1952.〕 It is about north of the Sentinel Island Light and south of North Island; it is one of the northernmost islands in Favorite Channel.〔U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. ''United States Coast Pilot: Alaska, Part I: Dixon Entrance to Yakutat Bay, Fifth Edition'', p. 50.

==History==
The Canadian Pacific Railway's SS ''Princess Sophia'' grounded on Vanderbilt Reef to the north early in the morning of October 24, 1918, in the midst of a snowstorm. The United States Lighthouse Service tender ''Cedar'', captained by John W. Ledbetter, had taken up sheltered at a cove of Benjamin Island when it received word of the passenger liner's plight at 14:00 that day. The ''Cedar'' left Benjamin Island almost immediately but did not reach the reef until 22:00.〔Newell, Gordon R. ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', Superior Publishing, Seattle, Washington 1966 (no ISBN number)〕〔O'Keefe, Betty and Macdonald, Ian. ''The Final Voyage of the Princess Sophia: Did they all have to die?'' Surrey, British Columbia: Heritage House Publishing Company Ltd., 1998.〕
