{{Short description|Cliffs in Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula}}
thumb|Location of Churchill Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula.
The '''Astro Cliffs''' ({{Coord|66|40|S|62|26|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) are rock cliffs {{convert|60|m}}, situated at the southeast extremity of [Churchill Peninsula](/source/Churchill_Peninsula), {{convert|6|mi|0}} northeast of [Cape Alexander](/source/Cape_Alexander) on the east coast of [Graham Land](/source/Graham_Land). Surveyed by the [Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey](/source/Falkland_Islands_Dependencies_Survey) in 1955, they mark the most southerly point of the survey. The [UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee](/source/UK_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee) name arose from the astronomical fix obtained near the summit which was essential for the control of the survey traverse.
