Ron Courtney Island is a small uninhabited river island in the Swan River, located in the suburb of Ascot in Perth, Western Australia. It was named in honour of the first chairman of the Swan River Conservation Board, which was formed in 1959. The island has a stand of flooded gum and a fringing community of shorerush and lake club rush. The understorey is predominantly exotic grass species which gives the island a parkland character. It is one of only three islands in the lower Swan River, the others being Heirisson Island and Kuljak Island.
