Moreton Point is the north entrance point of Fulmar Bay in the west of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.
The point was roughly charted by Powell and Palmer in 1821, and called Cap Ouest. It was recharted by Discovery Investigations in 1933 and named 'Moreton Point' after Harold Vane Moreton, Boatswain's Mate in Discovery II in 1929-31, 1931-33 and 1933-35.
