Hound Bay (Norwegian: Bikjebugten) is a bay, which is 2.5 miles (4 km) wide at its mouth and recedes 3 miles (5 km), entered between Tijuca Point and Cape Vakop along the north coast of South Georgia. The names "George Bay" and "Hundebugten" have appeared on charts for this feature. The South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, reported that this bay was better known to whalers and sealers as "Bikjebugten" (the word Bikje implying any low type canine). The name Hound Bay, proposed by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee is an English form of this name.

On 21 April 1982, the British Special Boat Service was landed at Hound Bay beach from helicopters based on HMS Endurance, and attempted to cross to the Argentine positions through Sörling Valley, and into Cumberland East Bay, where they were driven back by snow and ice on 22-24 April.
