Malva Bluff (71°55′S 62°21′W / 71.917°S 62.350°W / -71.917; -62.350) is a steep, south-facing rock bluff at the base of Condor Peninsula, overlooking the northwestern extremity of Hilton Inlet on the east side of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1974, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Antonio I.

He was also a member of the Pine Island Bay Reconnaissance aboard the USCGC Burton Island, 1974–75.[1]
