Horse Bluff
British Antarctic Territory
Range: Batterbee Mountains
Summit: 2,500 feet 71°17’30"S, 67°32’5"W

Horse Bluff is a hill with a distinctive cliff-face, found amongst the Tindley Peaks, part of the Batterbee Mountains of Palmer Land in the British Antarctic Territory. It is found standing forth between Ryder Glacier and McArthur Glacier, overlooking George VI Sound.

The highest point of the Tindley Peaks, at 2,500 feet above sea level, is just east of the horsehead-shaped cliff-face.

Following surveys by the British Antarctic Survey from 'Stonington Island' and 'Fossil Bluff' from 1970, this point was called Horse Point from a distinctive rock feature resembling a horse's head on the slopes above the point.
