The Lynsky Cove is a cove on the north side of Pidgeon Iceland in the archipelago of the Windmill Islands off the Budd Coast of the East Antarctic Wilke country .
The United States Navy aerial photographs taken during Operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948) in 1947 and 1948 were used to map them. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them James Edward Lynsky (1914–1996) in 1963, a member of the crew on Wilkes Station in 1958.
