Foca Point (60°42′S 45°40′W) is a rocky point forming the south side of the entrance to Express Cove on the west side of Signy Island in the South Orkney Islands. It was surveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the whale catcher Foca, belonging to the Compañía Argentina de Pesca, which visited the South Orkney Islands in December 1926.
