'''Hobbs Coast''' (located at 74°50′S 132°0′W) is that portion of the coast of [[Marie Byrd Land]], [[Antarctica]] extending from [[Cape Burks]] to a point on the coast opposite eastern [[Dean Island]], at  74°42′S 127°05′W, or between the [[Ruppert Coast]] in the west and the [[Bakutis Coast]] in the east. It stretches from 136°50′W to 127°35′. The coast was discovered by the US Antarctic Service (1939–41) and named for Professor [[William H. Hobbs]] of the[University of Michigan, a glaciologist specializing in polar geography and history. The United States Geological Survey completely mapped the coast from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65.
