King Point (63°9′S 55°27′W) is a point marking the west side of the entrance to Ambush Bay on the north coast of Joinville Island, Antarctica. It was discovered on December 30, 1842 by a British expedition under James Clark Ross, who named it "Cape King" for Captain (later Rear Admiral) Philip P. King, Royal Navy, 1793–1856, an English naval surveyor who made notable improvements to the charts of Australia and South America.
