Hazenland or Hazen Land is an uninhabited island of the Lincoln Sea in Peary Land, far northern Greenland.
The island was named in May 1882 by James Booth Lockwood of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition after General William Babcock Hazen, who had organized the venture. Lockwood reached his farthest north (83° 24′N) on neighboring Lockwood Island.[1]
