The Norseman Point is a headland that the eastern foothills of Neny Island in Marguerite Bay before Fallières coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula forms.
The first mapping was carried out in 1936 by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) named the headland after the Noorduyn Norseman aircraft that had flown them out of the FIDS station on Stonington Island in February 1950 .
