Illa Bylot (Bylot Island) é unha illa canadense situada ó extremo norte da illa de Baffin, no territorio de Nunavut. Cunha superficie de 11.067 km². Aínda que non existen asentamentos permanentes nesta illa do Ártico canadense, os Inuit de Pond Inlet e outros lugares viaxan regularmente á illa Bylot.

Case a totalidade da illa está dentro do Parque Nacional Sirmilik, que ten grandes poboacións de aves, como a Uria lomvia, Rissa tridactyla e gran ánsar nival.

A illa leva o seu nome en honra do explorador do Ártico, Robert Bylot.

As montañas da illa de Bylot forman parte das Montañas Byam Martin, que á súa vez son parte da Montañas Baffin da Cordilleira Ártica.
