The Bismarck Strait is a channel between the southern end of Anvers and Wiencke Islands and the Wilhelm Archipelago. It was surveyed in 1874 by the Antarctic German expedition under Captain Eduard Dallmann.

This channel was named by Dallmann after Otto von Bismarck, the chancellor of the German Empire.
