Maignan Point (65°3′S 64°2′W) is a point marking the northeast end of Cholet Island and the west side of the entrance to Port Charcot, lying close off the northwest part of Booth Island in the Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica. It was first charted by the Third French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for F. Maignan, a seaman of the Français who lost his life in a ship accident shortly after the expedition's departure from Le Havre.
