Findlay Point is a headland on the north-east coast of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.
Following surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1956-58, it was named after Alexander George Findlay (1812-75), geographer and hydrographer, who compiled a long series of nautical directories and charts, some covering the South Orkney Islands, in succession to the similar works of Purdy (from whom Purdy Point is named).
