The Corral Point is a rocky headland , which the south-western outskirts of Moe Iceland in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands form.

Scientists from the British Discovery Investigations carried out a rough survey in 1933. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey named them in the course of their own surveys in 1947. It is named after the whaling company Corral in Bergen , Norway , a branch of a fishing company based in Corral in Chile, which operated between 1912 and 1913 in the waters around South Georgia.
