The Nuyts Archipelago is a group of mostly granitic islands and reefs in South Australia's Great Australian Bight, south of the town of Ceduna on the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula, including the island group known as the Isles of St Francis. The islands provide breeding sites for Australian sea lions and support colonies of short-tailed shearwater, and with the exception of part of Evans Island, all of them lie within the protected Nuyts Archipelago Wilderness Protection Area and Nuyts Archipelago Conservation Park.
