Dougherty is the name of a phantom island that was believed to be located in the extreme south of the Pacific Ocean, roughly halfway between Cape Horn and New Zealand. It is named for Captain Dougherty of the James Stewart, an English whaler, who in 1841 reported discovering it at (59°20′S120°20′W). He described it as 5–6 miles long with a high bluff to the northeast, and covered in snow.
