The Milev Rocks (English; Bulgarian Милеви скали Milew skali ) are a group of cliffs 3.06 km north-northwest of Newell Point off the north coast of Robert Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . They are distributed in an east-west extension over a length of 1.5 km and a width of 600 m east of Henfield Rock , south-southwest of Orsoya Rocks and southwest of Mellona Rocks .
British scientists mapped them in 1968, Bulgarian ones in 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2010 after the Bulgarian poet Geo Milew (1895–1925).
