Cape Dubouzet ( French Cap Dubouzet ) is a cape which marks the northeastern end of the Antarctic Peninsula 3 km northeast of Mount Bransfield .
Participants in the Third French Antarctic Expedition (1837–1840) under the direction of polar explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville mapped the Cape. D'Urville named it after Lieutenant Eugène du Bouzet (1805–1867), navigator of his escort ship Zélée .
