The Hinks Channel is an arched, 3 km wide and 17.5 km long strait off the Loubet coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It connects the northern part of the Laubeuf Fjord with the strait The Gullet and separates Day Island to the west from the Arrowsmith Peninsula and Wyatt Island to the east.

Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , made the first rough measurements. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out a new survey in 1948 and named the strait. It is named after the British cartographer, mathematician and astronomer Arthur Robert Hinks (1873–1945), Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society from 1915 to 1945.
