Herbert (in lingua aleutina Chiĝulax[1]) è un'isola vulcanica disabitata del gruppo delle isole Four Mountains, nell'arcipelago delle Aleutine, e appartiene all'Alaska (USA). L'isola era stata chiamata Ulyaga dal tenente Gavriil Saryčev della Marina imperiale russa, in seguito Ullyagin, e infine (nel 1894) ha preso il suo attuale nome da Hilary Abner Herbert dell'ufficio navale idrografico americano[2].
