Glaciar Rocoso Cove is a small open cove, part of False Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is 920 m wide and indenting for 180 m the southeast coast of Hurd Peninsula east-northeast of Binn Peak and south-southwest of Nusha Hill. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The cove is descriptively named by Spain in connection with a rock glacier draining into it.
