Black Point is a rocky promontory of 38 hectares (94 acres)[1] projecting 800 m northwards from the northeast coast of Ioannes Paulus II Peninsula into Hero Bay, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica to form the east side of the entrance to Porlier Bay.

The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
