Brunow Bay indents the south-east coast of Livingston Island, one of the South Shetland Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.
The bay is a mile wide and its north-western shore is formed by the terminus of the Macy Glacier. The bay was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-57. It is named in association with the names of nineteenth-century sealers in this area, after Captain Benjamin J. Brunow, Master of the schooner Henry, one of Byers' fleet of sealers from New York which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21, operating from Yankee Harbour on Greenwich Island.
