The Norma Cove ( Russian бухта Норма, buchta Norma - literally "Bay Norm") is a small side bay of Maxwell Bay on the south coast of King George Island , the largest of the South Shetland Islands . It is located in the northeast of the Fildes Peninsula between Suffield Point and Jasper Point , immediately east of the Rocky Cove (labeled on the German map from 1984 as "Normbucht" and "Steinbucht").

The bay was named бухта Норма on a map from 1973 after mapping by the 13th Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1968 from Bellingshausen Station . The bay is labeled “Norma Inlet” on an English-language map by the same authors. The British Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC) translated the Russian name into English in 1980.

The Normbach flows into the bay from the Normsee .
