The '''Siple Coast''' (82°0′S 155°0′W) is the middle portion of the relatively ill-defined coast along the east side of the [[Ross Ice Shelf]], between the north end of Gould Coast (83°30′S 153°00′W) and the south end of Shirase Coast (80°10′S 151°00′W).

==Name==
The area was originally called Kirton Coast, but was renamed by NZ-APC in 1961 after [[Paul A. Siple]], a noted American scientist-explorer who accompanied R. Admiral [[Richard E. Byrd]] on all of his [[Antarctic]] expeditions.
