Biscoe Point is the south-east entrance point of Biscoe Bay, on the coast of Anvers Island in the British Antarctic Territory.
The point was roughly charted by the French Antarctic Expedition of 1903-05, and called Presqu'Île de Biscoe. Following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Arthur Harbour" in 1955, the headland was named 'Biscoe Point'.
The point was designated SSS1 No. 20 under the Antarctic Treaty.
