Erebus and Terror Gulf is a gulf on the south-east side of the tip of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory. It is bordered on the northeast by the Joinville Island Group and on the southwest by the James Ross Island Group.

The gulf was named for HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, the vessels commanded by Sir James Clark Ross in exploring these waters in 1842–43.

This region contains tabular icebergs.
