Stewart Stacks is a group of prominent sea stacks, one of them rising to 25 m, lying between Rugged Island and Astor Island in the northeast of Osogovo Bay, western Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The feature is named after Hampton Stewart of the American sealing vessel Jane Maria under Captain Robert Johnson who, according to the New York Gazette and General Advertiser of 16 May 1821, made one of the first charts of the South Shetlands in 1820–21.
