The Findlay Point is a headland on the north coast of Coronation Iceland in Archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . It is 3 km northwest of Palmer Bay and limits Norie Bay to the northeast.

The British sealer captain George Powell and his American counterpart Nathaniel Palmer sighted this headland in December 1821 while exploring the South Orkney Islands together. Powell made a rough mapping. Measurements were made between 1956 and 1958 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it on July 7, 1959 after the British geographer and hydrographer Alexander George Findlay (1812-1875), who, among numerous other works, had created a map of the South Orkney Islands.
