The Jacquinot Rocks (63°26′S 58°24′W) are a group of rocks about midway between the Hombron Rocks and Cape Ducorps and 1 mile (1.6 km) off the north coast of Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica. They were charted in 1946 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey who named the rocks for Honoré Jacquinot, a surgeon with the French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville which explored this coast in 1838.
