Meldia Rock (Bulgarian: скала Мелдия, ‘Skala Meldia’ \ska-'la 'mel-di-ya\) is the rock of diameter 220 m and split in east-west direction, lying off the northwest coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The rock is named after the ancient Roman station of Meldia in Western Bulgaria.
