Kuhn Island (Danish: Kuhn Ø) is a coastal island in Hochstetter Bay, eastern Greenland. There are coal deposits on the island.
This island lies to the north of Wollaston Foreland, separated from the mainland by a narrow sound, the Figely Fjord of the Greenland Sea. The islands that are located further off the shore in the bay are Shannon Island and the Pendulum Islands.
