Geep Pond is a pond at Bottom Meadow, west of Stejneger Peak and feeding Payne Creek on Bird Island off South Georgia's western tip, and within South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
The feature is commonly used by the British Antarctic Survey staff at Bird Island Research Station for wildlife monitoring and is an important nesting site for giant petrels. The name is a local term used by the British Antarctic Survey staff on the island and is a derivation of 'GP' (Giant Petrel).
