Szkier (również skier, skjer, szer) - skalista wysepka, muton, powstały w wyniku niszczenia podłoża przez lodowiec oraz zalania. Szkiery charakterystyczne są dla bałtyckich wybrzeży Szwecji i Finlandii (np. Wyspy Alandzkie) oraz wybrzeży Alaski.

A skerry is a small rocky island, usually defined to be too small for habitation. It may simply be a rocky reef.
