The Lenton Point is a headland in the south of Signy Iceland in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . In Clowes Bay it forms the southwestern extension of a small and rocky peninsula and marks the southern limit of the entrance to Lenton Cove .
Scientists from the British Discovery Investigations carried out a rough map in 1933. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) re-measured the headland in 1947. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 1954 after Ralph Anthony Lenton (1923–1986), FIDS radio operator on Signy Island in 1948.
