'''Gruney''' is a small, uninhabited [[island]] in [[Shetland]], [[Scotland]].  It lies north of the [[Northmavine]] peninsula of the [[Shetland Mainland]], from which it is separated by the Gruney [[sound (geography)|Sound]].

Gruney has a population of [[Leach's petrel]]s, one of just two in Shetland. It is not a National Nature Reserve, but the [[RSPB]] has a management agreement with the owners.

The island is also home to a [[lighthouse]].
