Roanoke island is an island in Dare County on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, United States. It was named after the historical Roanoke Carolina Algonquian people who inhabited the area in the 16th century at the time of English exploration. The lost colonists were the third group of English arrivals on North Carolina’s Roanoke Island, settling near the modern-day town of Manteo.

It was located in what was then called Virginia, named in honor of England's ruling monarch and "Virgin Queen", Elizabeth 1.
