Deliverance Point is the northern entrance point of Collins Bay on the Graham Coast of the British Antarctic Territory.

The headland was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition of 1908-10, in 1909 and named Cap de la Délivrance or Pointe de la Délivrance because J.-B. Charcot, R. Godfroy and E. Gourdon were rescued from there by Pourquoi-Pas? after "fighting the ice for six days in the picket boat".

The feature was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-57.
