Mission Rock rises just three feet above sea level south-west of the Guébriant Islands, off Adelaide Island in the British Antarctic Territory.

The rock was charted by a Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit from John Biscoe in 1963 and so named for the French missionary Father Guébriant, in association with the islands (BA, 1963, p.16; APC, 1964, p.3; BA chart 3577, 14.viii.1964).
