Veitch Point is the eastern headland of Monroe Island, the largest of the Larsen Islands off the west of Coronation Island, all within the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.
This headland was charted by Discovery Investigations in 1933 and named after CPO R. S. Veitch, of the Royal Navy, a South African hydrographic assistant in Discovery II 1931-33, with responsibility for the sounding machine. The point was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1957-58.
