Puget Rock (63°29′S 55°39′W) is a rock lying east of Eden Rocks, off the east end of Dundee Island in the Joinville Island group. The name Cape Puget was given by Sir James Clark Ross on December 30, 1842, for Captain William D. Puget, Royal Navy, but it is not clear from Ross' text what feature he was naming. The name Puget Rock was given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1956 in order to preserve Ross' name in this vicinity.
