Killermet Cove (64°52′S 63°7′W) is the southernmost of two coves indenting the west side of Bryde Island, off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The cove appears on an Argentine government chart of 1950. It was so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 because three members of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey were chased into this cove in their dinghies by six killer whales while circumnavigating Bryde Island in May 1957. The three members' names were Evans, Hobbs and O'Neill.
