Eliza Rocks is a chain of rocks lying between Desolation Island and Zed Islands off the north coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and extending 1 km in west-northwest direction. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers operating from Blythe Bay, Desolation Island.
The feature is named after the British sealing ship Eliza under Captain John Wright that was moored in Blythe Bay during part of the 1821-22 season.
