Hope Island is a suburb in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Hope Island had a population of 14,522 people.

There are three towns within the suburb, each established around a real estate development:

Hope Island is positioned on the northern Gold Coast. It is bounded by the Coomera River to the west, north-west, and north. The river then splits into a northern and southern branch around Coomera Island to east. the southern branch bounds Hope Island to the east. Hope Island is bounded to the south-west and south by Saltwater Creek. The undeveloped Coomera Island lies to the east of Hope Island preventing direct access to Moreton Bay.

Hope Harbour is in the east of the suburb providing boat access to the southern branch of the Coomera River (27°52′24″S 153°22′34″E / 27.8734°S 153.3760°E / -27.8734; 153.3760 (Hope Harbour)).

The Pacific Motorway and Coomera Connector are to the west passing through the neighbouring suburb of Helensvale.

The Indigenous name for the area was Boykambil.

The area was named after colonial aristocrat Captain Louis Hope, who in 1867 was granted the island then known as Boykambil near the mouth of the Coomera River in recognition of his contribution in developing the sugar industry in Queensland.
