The Acuña Rocks (English; Spanish Roca Acuña ) are two reef rocks that are about 650 m west of Largo Island off Cape Legoupil in the archipelago of the Duroch Islands north of the West Antarctic Trinity Peninsula .
They were named in the Second Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1947-1948) after Lieutenant Acuña, a member of the expedition. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated this designation into English in 1964.
