Triznatsi Rocks (Bulgarian: скали Тризнаци, romanized: skali Triznatsi, IPA: [skɐˈli triˈznat͡si]) is the group of three adjacent rocks off the northwest coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica extending 144 m in west–east direction and 122 m in south–north direction. Their surface areas are 0.33 ha, 0.17 ha and 0.14 ha respectively. The vicinity was visited by early 19th century sealers.^[1]

The rocks are so named because of their configuration, 'triznatsi' being the Bulgarian for 'triplets.'
