L'île Taillefer est une île australienne située dans l'océan Pacifique au large de la côte est de la Tasmanie et au sud de l'île Schouten. Elle a été nommée durant l'expédition Baudin en l'honneur d'Hubert Jules Taillefer, médecin qui participa à ce voyage d'exploration scientifique français parti du Havre le 19 octobre 1800.
