The Embassy Islands are two the westernmost islands of the Dion Islands, south of Adelaide Island in the British Antarctic Territory.
The islands were mapped as a single island or rock by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Stonington Island" in June 1949. They were named in association with Emperor Island, and named 'Embassy Rock' because of its detached position. The rock was recharted as two islands by a Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit from John Biscoe in 1963, and called the Embassy Islands.
