Sokol Point (Bulgarian: нос Сокол, ‘Nos Sokol’ \'nos so-'kol) is the narrow hilly point projecting 1.9 km into Darbel Bay on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It is formed by an offshoot of Sherba Ridge, and separates the glacier termini of Drummond Glacier to the east and Widdowson Glacier to the south.
