Prince of Wales Island (Muralug Island) is an island 20 km north of Muttee Heads which is adjacent to Bamaga at the tip of Cape York Peninsula within the Endeavour Strait Queensland, Australia in the Torres Strait and south of Thursday Island. With an area of km², Prince of Wales Island is the largest of the Torres Strait Islands. Being inhabited only by a few Kaurareg families (population 20 in 2001), it is very sparsely populated. The village in the north is called Muralug, after the native name of the island. The northeastern corner of the island, Kiwain Point, is only 830 meters away from Vivien Point of Thursday Island, the main and most populous of the Torres Strait Islands, separated by Normanby Sound. Muralag or Muralug Island, also known as Prince of Wales, comes under the jurisdiction of Torres Shire Council. However most of the land has been returned to the Kaurareg People, who are the traditional owners of the island.
