The Legru Bay is a bay on the south coast of King George Iceland in the South Shetland Islands , which immediately northeast of Martins Head is.
During the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908–1910), the French polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot gave the name Cap Legru to a point of land that is now known as Martins Head. Later Charcot's name was transferred to the bay described here. The namesake is unknown.
