The Cape Cornely is a rocky cape at the Scott Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It is located 5 km north of Cape Day on the southern flank of the mouth of the Mawson Glacier in the form of the Nordenskjöld ice tongue into the Ross Sea .

The United States Geological Survey mapped the cape based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1957 to 1961. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1965 after Joseph Robert Thomas Cornely (1927-1989), radio operator of the winter crews on the Little America V Station (1958), Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station (1961) and McMurdo Station (1963).
