The Fauré Inlet is an ice-filled inlet on the south side of the Monteverdi Peninsula in the south portion of Alexander Island in the British Antarctic Territory. It is also the only named inlet on the south shore of the Monteverdi Peninsula.
The inlet was discovered and first charted by Finn Ronne and Carl Eklund of the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, 1977, in association with the names of composers grouped in this area, after Gabriel Fauré, the French]] composer (1845-1924).
