The Boulder Point is the southern headland of Stonington Island before Fallières coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula .
It was first mapped in 1940 with the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939-1941). The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out a new survey in 1948 and named it after the striking granite boulder that dominates the headland.
