Cape Felt is the northern cape of Wright Island off the Bakutis coast of Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica .
An initial mapping was made using aerial photographs taken in January 1947 as part of Operation Highjump (1946–1947). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the Cape in 1967 by Admiral Harry D. Felt (1902-1994), vice-commander of the missions of the United States Navy during Operation Deep Freeze during the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958).
