Poynter Col (63°49′S 59°7′W) is a snow-filled col, over 700 m high, joining Poynter Hill and Ivory Pinnacles in northern Graham Land, Antarctica. The col is 9 nautical miles (17 km) east-southeast of Cape Kjellman. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from Hope Bay in 1948. Poynter Col was named in 1953 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), by association with Poynter Hill.
