Stonehouse Bay (67°21′S 68°5′W﻿ / ﻿67.350°S 68.083°W﻿ / -67.350; -68.083) is a bay in Antarctica on the west side of Laubeuf Fjord, indenting the east coast of Adelaide Island between Hunt Peak and Sighing Peak. The bay is 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide. It was first sighted and surveyed in January 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. The bay was named for Bernard Stonehouse of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), a meteorologist in 1947-48 and biologist in 1949 at Stonington Island and leader of the FIDS sledge party which resurveyed the bay in 1948.[1][2]

Adelaide Island's largest glacier, the Shambles Glacier, calves into Stonehouse Bay.[3]
