Bouvetön (franska Île Bouvet, norska Bouvetøya; tidigare Liverpool Island eller Lindsay Island) är en ö 1 700 km utanför Antarktis nordöstra kust, utanför Drottning Mauds land. Ön är ett så kallat norskt biland sedan 27 februari 1930 men har tillhört Norge sedan 1 december 1927 då den norska Norvegia-expeditionen under kapten Harald Horntvedt annekterade ön. Ön har inga fast boende, och det är sällsynt med besök även på sommaren.
