Fitzroy Point (63°11′S 55°7′W) is a low point at the east side of Fliess Bay forming the northeast extremity of Joinville Island, off Graham Land, Antarctica. It was discovered on December 30, 1842 by a British expedition under James Clark Ross, who named it "Cape Fitzroy" for Captain (later Vice Admiral) Robert FitzRoy, Royal Navy, an English hydrographer and meteorologist.
