Die Rattlesnake Island ist eine kleine kanadische Binneninsel im Okanagansee, gegenüber von Peachland. Das Land am Ufer, welches die Insel umgibt, ist ein Teil des Okanagan-Gebirgsparks.

Rattlesnake Island gilt als Heimat des legendären Ogopogo (ein Fabeltier) und hieß deshalb auch bis in die Mitte der 1950er „Ogopogo Island“. In den 1990er Jahren war die Insel im Begriff, als touristische Anziehung entwickelt zu werden, und ein Minigolf-Kurs sollte auf ihr errichtet zu werden, aber dieser Plan wurde später aufgegeben. 2003 entfachte ein Blitzschlag nahe der Insel ein großes Waldfeuer und einige Schlangen vom Festland entgingen dem Feuer, indem sie zur Insel schwammen.
