The Dvořák Ice Rise is an ice dome 1.5 km in size in the southwest of Alexander I Island, west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It protrudes over the ice masses in Mendelssohn Inlet .
Aerial photographs of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) were used by Derek John Hatherhill Searle (1928–2003) from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey for mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1961 after the Czech composer Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904).
