Short Island is an Antarctic island lying 4.0 km southwest of Cape Page, close off the west coast of Graham Land. Shown on an Argentine government chart of 1952. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Short Brothers, the British firm started by Eustace, Oswald and Horace Short, who in 1909 received an order from the famous Wright brothers to build six Wright Flyer aircraft, and thus Shorts earned the title of "the first aircraft factory in the world."
