Northeast Investigator Shoal (Chinese: 高解像度版 Haikou Jiao), also marked as Investigator Northeast shoal on some nautical charts, is a shoal in the Spratly group of islands in South China sea.[1][2]

The submerged coral atoll is located 32 nautical miles from Bombay Shoal at 9° 10' N, 116° 28' E. A small feature with an area of just 2 square kilometres, the shoal has a few rocks at the western edge that are just about visible at high water.[3]
