The Randall Rocks are a group of cliff rocks off the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . In Marguerite Bay they are 800 m from the southwest corner of Millerand Island and extend over a length of 1.5 km in a northwest-southeast orientation.
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill roughly mapped them in 1936. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) carried out more precise measurements and naming between 1948 and 1949. It is named after Terence Mark Randall (* 1928), FIDS radio operator at its station on Stonington Island from 1947 to 1949.
