The Guébriant Islands are two islands lying to the south-east of Cape Alexandra, the south-eastern headland of Adelaide Island off the Loubet Coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The islands were roughly charted by the French Antarctic Expedition of 1908-10, and named Îlots de Guébriant after the Rev. Father Guébriant, French missionary to China.
The islands were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Stonington Island" in October 1948 as the 'de Guebriand Islets'. They were recharted by a Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit from John Biscoe in 1963, noted as the Guébriant Islands.
