Heaps Rock (76°0′S 132°46′W) is a rock exposure above Bursey Icefalls and 2 nautical miles (4 km) west-northwest of Hutt Peak on the Mount Bursey massif, in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Kenneth L. Heaps, a meteorologist at South Pole Station in 1970.
