Liberty Rocks is a group of four prominent adjacent rocks lying at the north entrance to Nelson Strait in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and extending 430 by 120 m (470 by 131 yd). The area was visited by early 19th-century sealers.

The feature is named after the British sealing vessel Liberty under Captain Peacock that visited the South Shetlands in 1821–22.
