The Ketley Point is a headland that the western end of Rongé Island before the Danco Coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula forms.
Participants in the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) led by the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery mapped them in February 1898. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 1960 after John Ketley (* 1935), assistant geodesist of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey on Danco Island in 1956 and Arthur Harbor on Anvers Island in 1957.
