Location of Davis Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Jordanoff Bay (Template:Lang-bg, IPA: [jordɐˈnɔv ˈzalif]) is the 5 km wide bay indenting for 4.9 km Davis Coast in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula, and entered northeast of Wennersgaard Point and southwest of Tarakchiev Point. Its head is fed by Sabine Glacier.

The bay is named for the Bulgarian-American pioneer of aviation Assen Jordanoff (1896–1967) who built the first Bulgarian engine-powered airplane in 1915 and took part in the construction of B-17 Flying Fortress and other US planes.[1]
