Turpie Rock is a rock almost awash to the north-west of Cape Saunders on the north coast of South Georgia. It lies in entrance of Hercules Bay.

Following the South Georgia Survey, this rock was named after the Turpie, which was for many years used by the South Georgia Whaling Company as a hulk at Leith Harbour, and is now sunk there.
