Zabel Point (Bulgarian: нос Забел, ‘Nos Zabel’ \'nos 'za-bel) is the ice-covered, rock-tipped point on the southwest side of the entrance to Buragara Cove on the west coast of Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was formed as a result of the retreat of Rush Glacier near the start of the 21st century.
