The Gibbous Rocks are a group of rocks located {{convert|4|nmi|km|0|abbr=on|disp=flip}} north-west of Cape Belsham, Elephant Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. They were so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee following charting by the Joint Services Expedition, 1970–71. The name is descriptive of their rounded shapes (gibbous meaning humped).
