Pelican Lagoon is a seawater lagoon located on the north coast of Kangaroo Island, South Australia about 18.7 kilometres (11.6 mi) south east of Kingscote. It was named by Matthew Flinders on 4 April 1802 after the large population of pelicans present in its waters and adjoining shorelines. Its role as fishery hatchery had been identified by the early 20th century with the result that fishing in its waters has been restricted in varying degrees.
