The Atanasova Point (English; Bulgarian нос Атанасова nos Atanassowa ) is a 450 m long headland on the north coast of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It protrudes 2.4 km east of Kuklen Point , 5.7 km southwest of Siddins Point , 3.27 km west to south of Lukovit Point , 8 km northwest of Ereby Point and 10.2 km north-northeast of Hannah Point in Hero Bay inside.

Bulgarian scientists mapped them in 2005, 2009 and 2017. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named them in 2017 after Tsvetelina Atanasova (1960–2018), who had participated in several Bulgarian research campaigns in the Antarctic since 2009.
