瓦勒普斯岛（英文：Wallops Island）美国弗吉尼亚州东海岸外一座面积约15.5平方公里的小岛，是沿着美国东部海岸线延伸的一系列浅滩的一部分。
瓦勒普斯岛位于弗吉尼亚州阿科马克县。该岛在钦科蒂格岛的正南面，后者是一个著名的旅游胜地。1692年，约翰·瓦勒普从英国王室那里获得对瓦勒普斯岛的所有权，当时该岛名为科戈坦克岛。此后该岛长期为私人团体所有，直到1940年代。
美国海军从1947年起租用了瓦勒普斯岛上部约占全岛的三分之二的地区，主要目的是在那里进行航空武器测试。NASA的前身国家航空咨询委员会则租用了岛屿下部约4平方公里的地区作为火箭发射场。现在岛上仍然有火箭发射设施（所谓“中大西洋地区航天港”）。
