Уолдрон или Уалдрон[1] (англ. Waldron Island) — один из островов архипелага Сан-Хуан, который расположен у северо-западного побережья штата Вашингтон, США. В административном отношении является частью округа Сан-Хуан.

Площадь острова составляет 11,9 км², а его население по данным переписи 2000 года составляет 104 человека. В отличие от других островов архипелага, на Уолдроне отсутствует какая-либо туристическая инфраструктура.

В ходе испанской экспедиции Франсиско Элисы 1791 года остров был назван «Лемос»[2]. Современное название ему было дано экспедицией Уилкса в мае 1841 года в честь одного из братьев Уолдрон, либо в честь обоих братьев сразу (участники экспедиции)[3].

Historian E.S. Meaney doesn’t appear to have initially realized there were two Waldrons whose name could have been lent to this island: «Thomas W. Waldron, the captain’s clerk, had his name given to an island in the San Juan Archipelego.» Edmund S. Meaney, History of the State of Washington, (1909), pp.74-5 at: https://archive.org/stream/historyofstateof00meanuoft#page/74/mode/2up accessed 5 September 2010. However there was another Waldron on the trip, the same author writes in a later book. Waldron Island 'was probably intended for Thomas W. Waldron, Captain’s Clerk of the brig Porpoise of the expedition. However, it is possible that two men were honoured in the one name as R. R. Waldron was Purser of the Vincennes, another vessel of the expedition.’ (Meany, E. S. (1923). Origin of Washington Geographic Names, University of Washington Press, Seattle. as cited in Patrick J. M. Waldron, «Waldron Family History», June 30, 2009, pp.5, 8 at: http://www.binary.co.nz/WALDRON3.PDF accessed 5 September 2010). Meaney doesn’t seem to have realized the two were brothers.
