Kinnes Cove lies between Madder Cliffs and Cape Kinnes on Joinville Island, off the north-east tip of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

The cove was charted by the Argentine Antarctic Expedition of 1951-52 and named Bahía Suspiros, meaning 'Bay of sighs' in reference to the difficulty of anchoring in the cove. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in 1953-54, and named 'Kinnes Cove', in association with the cape, Cape Kinnes The Chilean Antarctic Expedition of 1948-49 had apparently named the cove Bahía Koegel after Captain (F) Raúl Koegel of the Chilean Navy, commanding the oil tanker Maipo, but the name has not perssisted.
