Elliðaey (; or Ellirey ) is a small, uninhabited island south of Iceland. It is the most northeastern of the Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands), an archipelago consisting of 15 to 18 islands and assorted smaller rocks. ==Geography== The island has a size of , making it the third-largest island in the archipelago. It has no permanent population and is not home to much wildlife except for an abundance of puffins. It is about from the south coast of the mainland of Iceland.
The larger of the two buildings on the island is a hunting lodge, built in 1953 by the Elliðaey Hunting Association. There also exists an old storage hut and workshop built into the hill across from the lodge, which may have been used by biologists to store equipment. The lodge is often referred to as the "world's loneliest house" on social media.
