'''Shirreff Cove''' ({{Coord|62|28|S|60|48|W||display=inline,title}}) is a small cove or anchorage, situated immediately southwest of [[Cape Shirreff]] between [[San Telmo Island]] and [[Gerlovo Beach]] on the northwest side of [[Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula]], [[Livingston Island]] in the [[South Shetland Islands]], [[Antarctica]].

[[Edward Bransfield]], Master, [[Royal Navy]], named a cove in this vicinity for Captain [[William H. Shirreff]], British commanding officer in the Pacific in 1820. Present application of the name is based upon the location shown on Captain [[George Powell (mariner)|George Powell]]'s map, published by Laurie in 1822.
