Point Turton is a coastal town 114 kilometres (71 mi) west of Adelaide, South Australia.

The town was named by a marine surveyor, Captain John Hutchinson, as a commemoration of a double wedding of two daughters of the then Governor of South Australia, Dominick Daly, at Government House.

In August 1866, Daly's youngest daughter, artist Caroline Louisa Daly, married Henry Hobhouse Turton, manager of the Savings Bank of South Australia, while the eldest daughter, Joanna, married John Souttar,[6] Manager of the Bank of Adelaide.
