Spindrift Col is a mountain pass running through north-central Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It is located 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) southeast of Spindrift Rocks, its namesake.
It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1974, after the sea spray that occurs in their surroundings with strong westerly winds.
