Dallmann Bay is a bay lying between Brabant Island and Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of the British Antarctic Territory.

The bay is connected to Gerlache Strait by the Schollaert Channel. It was discovered and first roughly charted in 1874 by the German whaler Captain Eduard Dallmann, and was named for Dallmann by the Society for Polar Navigation, Hamburg, which sponsored Dallmann's Antarctic exploration. It was later charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot.

The bay was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition, 1956-57
