Bruix Cove is the 1.93 km wide cove indenting for 1.75 km the south coast of Moon Bay in eastern Livingston Island, the South Shetland Islands in Antarctica. Entered between Yana Point and Rila Point. Most of the cove's coastline is formed by the terminus of Iskar Glacier.
The feature is named after Baron Alexis-Vital-Joseph (Spanish: Alejo) de Bruix (c. 1790–1825), a French military who took part in the Napoleonic Wars and the Spanish American wars of independence.
