Hiroe Point (69°22′S 39°44′E) is a rock point situated 1.3 nautical miles (2.4 km) southwest of Mount Hiroe on the coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. The point marks the southern end Breidvåg Bight. It was first mapped by H.E. Hansen from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37. The name "Hiroe-misaki" (broad bay point) was applied by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition Headquarters in 1973 and follows Japanese research in the area.
