Storer Reef is an isolated reef lying three nautical miles south-east of Aspasia Point and one and a half nautical miles off the south coast of South Georgia.

The reef is named following mapping by the South Georgia Survey of 1951–1952, after Captain Nathaniel Storer of New Haven, Connecticut, who in 1801 built a small schooner on the coast of Patagonia, sailed her to South Georgia, and spent two seasons taking 45,000 fur seal skins.
