Dolsando (Korean: 돌산도) or Dolsan Island is an island in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, South Korea.^[1]

The island has eight mountains: Daemisan, Bonghwangsan, Geumosan, Cheonwangsan, Dusan, Somisan, Cheonmasan, and Sujuksan. These mountains are rocky, which has led to a local belief that the island's name refers to the rocks (돌; dol) found there. Much of the island is covered with trees. Its economy is largely based on agriculture, fishing, and tourism.^[1]

The island is connected to the mainland and the rest of Yeosu by the Dolsan Bridge, which opened in 1984.^[1]
