The Lady Newnes Bay is a 100 km wide bay at the Borchgrevink Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It extends from Coulman Island in the northeast to Cape Sibbald in the southwest.
Participants in the Southern Cross Expedition (1898-1900) of the Norwegian polar explorer Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink discovered them. Borchgrevink named it after Priscilla Jenney Hillyard (1848–1925), wife of the British newspaper publisher George Newnes (1851–1910), the main sponsor of the research trip .
