'''Commonwealth Bay''' is an open bay about 48&nbsp;km (30&nbsp;mi) wide at the entrance between [[Point Alden]] and [[Cape Gray]] in [[Antarctica]]. It was discovered in 1912 by the [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]] under [[Douglas Mawson]], who established the main base of the expedition at [[Cape Denison]] at the head of the bay. The bay was named by the Expedition after the [[Commonwealth of Australia]].
