[[File:Wilkins Coast.svg|thumb|Wilkins Coast location]] '''Wilkins Coast''' is that portion of the east coast of the [[Antarctic Peninsula]] between [[Cape Agassiz]] and [[Cape Boggs]].{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=813}}

==Name== Wilkins Coast was named by the United States [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for Sir [[Hubert Wilkins]], who in a pioneer Antarctic exploratory flight on December 20, 1928, flew southward from [[Deception Island]] and crossed the Antarctic Peninsula to its east side. He continued southward to [[Stefansson Strait]] and [[Hearst Island]], which lie midway along Wilkins Coast.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=813}}
