Stonehouse Bay (67°21′S 68°5′W / 67.350°S 68.083°W / -67.350; -68.083) is a bay in Antarctica on the west side of Laubeuf Fjord, indenting the east coast of Adelaide Island between Hunt Peak and Sighing Peak.

The bay is 5 nautical miles (9 km) wide.

It was first sighted and surveyed in January 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot.

The bay was named for Bernard Stonehouse of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), a meteorologist in 1947-48 and biologist in 1949 at Stonington Island and leader of the FIDS sledge party which resurveyed the bay in 1948.
