Mansa Cove is the 450 m cove indenting for 300 m the east coast of the small (2.6 x 1.6 km) ice-free promontory forming the north extremity of Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula, western Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and ending up in Cape Shirreff. The feature was descriptively named by the 1984–85 Chilean Antarctic Expedition from the stillness of its waters (‘Quiet Bay’ in Spanish).

The cove is centred at -62.46472°N, -60.78472°W which is 680 m of Cape Shirreff, 4.26 km northwest of Black Point and 1.18 km east by north of Rapa Nui Point (British mapping in 1968, detailed Chilean mapping in 2004, and Bulgarian mapping in 2005 and 2009).
