Robert Island, also known as Round Island (Chinese: 甘泉岛; pinyin: Ganquan Dǎo) (Template:Lang-vi) is an island of the Paracel Islands, in the South China Sea.

Like the other Paracel Islands, it is controlled by China (PRC) and claimed by Taiwan (ROC) and Vietnam. It is administered as part of the Yongxing Dao Neighborhood Committee township-level division, in the county-level division of the Xisha District of the Sansha prefecture-level city, in Hainan province.

An environmental protection station was established there in February 2014.[1]

It is classified as a Major Historical and Cultural Site at the national level.[why?][citation needed]
