جزيرة هانز (إنگليزية: Hans Island؛ بالگرينلاندية: Tartupaluk؛ Inuktitut: ᑕᕐᑐᐸᓗᒃ; فرنسية: Île Hans؛ دنماركية: Hans Ø) هي small, uninhabited barren knoll measuring 1.3 km² (0.5 sq mi), 1,290 metres (0.80 mi) long and 1,199 metres (0.745 mi) wide, وتقع في وسط قنال كندي في مضيق نارس—المضيق الذي يفصل جزيرة إلسمير عن شمال گرينلاند ويربط خليج بافن بـبحر لنكون. Hans Island is the smallest of three islands located in Kennedy Channel; the others are Franklin Island and Crozier Island. The strait is 35 kilometres (22 mi) wide here, placing the island within the territorial waters of both Canada and Denmark. A theoretical line in the middle of the strait goes through the island.

The island has likely been part of Inuit hunting grounds since the 14th century. It is claimed by Canada, and by Denmark on behalf of the Greenland self-government. In accordance with the home rule treaty, Denmark handles certain foreign affairs, such as border disputes, on behalf of the entire commonwealth. The nearest populated places are Alert, Canada (198 km/123 mi distance), Siorapaluk, Greenland (349 km/217 mi distance) and Qaanaaq, Greenland (379 km/235 mi distance).
