**Lynx Rocks** is a group of rocks in southwestern [Hero Bay](/source/Hero_Bay) on the north side of [Livingston Island](/source/Livingston_Island) in the [South Shetland Islands, Antarctica](/source/South_Shetland_Islands,_Antarctica). The area was visited by early 19th century [sealers](/source/Seal_hunting) operating from nearby [Blythe Bay](/source/Blythe_Bay).

The feature is named after the [Australian](/source/Australia) sealing vessel *Lynx* under Captain Richard Siddins that visited the South Shetland in 1820-21 and 1821–22, wintering in the [Falkland Islands](/source/Falkland_Islands) in 1821.
