The O'Gorman Rocks are two small rock islands off the Ingrid Christensen coast of the East Antarctic Princess Elisabeth Land . They are located 800 m south of Trigwell Island across the Vestfold Mountains .
Aerial photographs taken by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1957 and 1958 were used to map them. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named them in 1961 after Michael O'Gorman, a weather observer at Davis Station in 1959.
