Lehrke Inlet (70°49′S 61°45′W / 70.817°S 61.750°W / -70.817; -61.750) is an ice-filled inlet, 15 kilometres (8 nmi) wide, which recedes southwest for 31 kilometres (17 nmi) between Cape Boggs and Cape Sharbonneau, along the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was discovered by members of the United States Antarctic Service who explored this coast on land and from the air in 1940, and was named for Lester Lehrke, boatswain's mate of USS Bear, one of the expedition ships, and sailmaker of the East Base.[1]

Dawson Head is located along the northwest side of the inlet.[2]
