The Hampton Bluffs are three cliffs on the Nordenskjöld coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They tower on the east bank of Larsen Inlet .
Surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from 1960 to 1961 were used to map them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1964 after Ian Francis Glynne Hampton (* 1936), FIDS doctor on the Hope Bay ward in 1959 and 1960.
