Memory Cove is a bay located on the East coast of Jussieu Peninsula on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia approximately {{convert|15|km|mi}} South-East of Port Lincoln.
It is one of the natural features named by Matthew Flinders in memory of the eight crew who were lost on a cutter that capsized sometime after being launched from HM Sloop Investigator to search for water on 21 February 1802.{{cite web|title= Encounter 1802-2002: Flinders' voyage; Difficulties and disasters|url= http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/encounter/flinders/disasters.htm|publisher=State Library of South Australia|access-date=15 February 2014}}{{cite web|title=Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area Management Plan,|url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/0c625c92-46c3-46e0-b564-9e4f00b1bca2/PARKS_PDFS_MEMORYCOVE_WPA_MP.pdf.|publisher=Department of Environment Water and Natural Resources|access-date=26 January 2014|pages=1|year=2005}}
Since 2004, the coastline enclosing the bay has been part of the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area.
