Cape Caution is a headland along the Central Coast of the Canadian Province of British Columbia.

Cape Caution was named by British maritime explorer George Vancouver in May 1793 for the turbulent waters and rocky coastline found in the vicinity.

Vancouver had nearly lost his ship, HMS Discovery, the previous year on a rock about 24 kilometres southeast of the headland.

[1] Cape Caution is located on the western end of a large unnamed peninsula.

Despite the visual prominence of the cape, the true westernmost point of the unnamed peninsula is Neck Ness (51°11′45″N 127°47′44″W / 51.19583°N 127.79556°W / 51.19583; -127.79556).
