The Miyoda-cliff is a 400 m high and rocky cliff at the Bowman Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises at the northern end of the Rock Pile Peaks on the Bermel Peninsula and marks the southern boundary of the entrance to Solberg Inlet .
Aerial photographs were taken during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) in 1940 and by the United States Navy in 1966. Between 1946 and 1948, the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out a geodetic survey of the area. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the cliff in 1977 after Larry Miyoda (1947-2007), engineer on Siple Station in 1974 and administrator on Palmer Station in 1977.
