The Divide is a narrow channel separating Matthews Island from Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.
The Divide was charted as an isthmus by Sørlle, 1912-13. It was recharted as an isthmus and named descriptively by Discovery Investigations in 1933. Following survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1957 it was shown to be a channel.
