Rudder Point (56°40′S 28°8′W) is the high, rocky southeast point of Leskov Island, South Sandwich Islands. The name, applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1971, refers to the resemblance of the feature to a large ruder in contradistinction to Bowsprit Point at the other end of the island.
