Orwell Bight (60°43′S 45°23′W / 60.717°S 45.383°W) is a body of water lying south of the eastern half of Coronation Island, bounded on the west by Signy Island and on the east by the Robertson Islands, in the South Orkney Islands. The general nature of this bight was first delineated by Petter Sorlle, Norwegian whaling captain who mapped this area in 1912–13. It was surveyed by DI personnel in 1933 and by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948–49. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the Norwegian transport Orwell, the second ship of that name belonging to the , which anchored in Borge Bay, Signy Island, on the west side of this bight in the seasons 1925–26 to 1929–30.

| - Die Orwell Bight (auch bekannt als Orwell Bay, in Argentinien Ensenada Orwell) ist eine Bucht im Archipel der Südlichen Orkneyinseln. Sie liegt südlich der Osthälfte von Coronation Island und wird im Westen durch Signy Island sowie im Osten durch die Robertson-Inseln begrenzt. Der norwegische Walfängerkapitän Petter Sørlle kartierte die Bucht zwischen 1912 und 1913 als Erster. Wissenschaftler der britischen Discovery Investigations nahmen 1933 Vermessungen vor. Der Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey wiederholte dies zwischen 1948 und 1949. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte die Bucht 1955 nach dem Transportschiff Orwell des norwegischen Walfangunternehmens , das zwischen 1926 und 1926 sowie zwischen 1929 und 1930 in den Gewässern um die Südlichen Orkneyinseln operierte.
