The Rudmose Rocks are a group of reef rocks off the north coast of Laurie Island in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . They are located around 800 m north-northwest of Cape Geddes .

Participants of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902–1904) mapped the rocky islands in 1903. Expedition leader William Speirs Bruce named them after the British botanist Robert Neal Rudmose-Brown (1879–1957), a member of the expedition.
