Enchantress Rocks is a small group of rocks lying off Elephant Point on the south side of western Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The area was visited by early 19th-century sealers.

The feature is named after the British sealing ship Enchantress under Captain W. Bond that operated in the South Shetland in 1821–22.
