The Von Bellingshausen Coast ( Norwegian Von Bellingshausenkysten ) forms the east coast of Peter I Island in Antarctica. It extends from the mouth of the Simonovbreen in the north to the Michajlovodden in the south. The Mirny coast joins in the north and the Vostok coast in the south .

Norwegian scientists named it after the Russian navigator Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen (1778-1852), the discoverer of Peter I Island.
