Buzfuz Rock lies submerged by the Pitt Islands, part of the Biscoe Islands in the British Antarctic Territory. It lies in the sea to the north-west of Renaud Island.

The island was charted by a Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit from HMS Endurance in 1969. It was named in association with the other names amongst the Pitt Islands which are taken from those of characters from the Pickwick Papers: this rock is named after Sergeant Buzfuz, counsel against Mr Pickwick in the case of Bardell v Pickwick.
