Cape Frances ({{coord|67|30|S|164|45|E|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a cape on the east side of Sturge Island in the Balleny Islands. In 1841, Captain James C. Ross, viewing Sturge Island from a considerable distance, thought it a group of three islands and named the center island Frances. This error was discovered in 1904 by Captain Robert F. Scott, who applied the name to this cape.
