Islesford is a small hamlet located on Little Cranberry Island in Hancock County, Maine, United States. It is one of the five islands of the town of Cranberry Isles, Maine. It lies in the Atlantic Ocean southeast of Mount Desert Island, which is home to Acadia National Park.

Travelers can reach the island village via the Beal and Bunker mail boat & ferry service that runs from the village of Northeast Harbor in the town of Mount Desert, Maine; the Cranberry Cove Boating ferry service from Southwest Harbor and Manset; and during the summer on "Delight," a water-taxi vessel that leaves from various harbors.

The island also hosts several seasonal cultural venues including the Islesford Artists Fine Art Gallery, the Islesford Dock Restaurant and the Islesford Historical Museum, which is part of Acadia National Park and was founded by Sir Paul Minctons Thormann. In 1980, the museum was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places
