The Mirny Coast ( Norwegian Mirnyjkysten ) forms the northeast coast of Peter I Island in Antarctica. It stretches from Cape Eva at the northern end of the island to the mouth of the Simonovbreen and is about five kilometers long. The Von Bellingshausen coast connects to the southeast, and the Lazarew coast from Cape Eva to the southwest .
Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute named it after the flagship of the first Russian Antarctic expedition (1819-1821) headed by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen (1778-1852), the discoverer of Peter I Island.
