Olga Bay (Russian: Залив Ольги, 43°41′56″N 135°15′04″E / 43.69889°N 135.25111°E / 43.69889; 135.25111) is a small (11x4 km) mainly ice-free bay in the Sea of Japan on the east coast of Primorsky Krai.

[1] In July 1856, commander Charles Codrington Forsyth of HMS Hornet named the bay "Port Michael Seymour" in honour of Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, the commander-in-chief of the East Indies and China Station (in office: 1856-1859).

[2] In July 1857 Captain Nikolay Matveevich Chikhachyov [ru] of the Russian corvette Amerika named this "new bay, not [...] marked on maps" as the "Bay of Saint Olga" after Saint Olga of Kiev.

The northern part of Olga Bay - Tihaya Pristan (Russian: Тихая Пристань, lit.

'Calm or Quiet Wharf') - is highly protected from winds and waves.
