Dixey Rock is a rock lying amongst the Danger Islands, a cluster of islets off Joinville Island, off the northern tip of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The rock rises to 82 feet above sea level. It was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Hope Bay' in 1953-54 and 1956-58, and photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition of 1956-57. It was named after David John Dixey (b. 1937), Head, Nautical Branch 5, Hydrographic Department, MOD, who re-identified the rock on the air photographs.
