The Radigan Point is a snow-covered headland in southwest West Antarctic Alexander Island . It marks the northwestern end of the Harris Peninsula and separates the Verdi Inlet from the Brahms Inlet .
The British geographer Derek Searle from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped them in 1960 using aerial photographs taken by the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the headland after Matthew James Radigan (* 1955), commander of the Navy squadron VXE-6 from May 1983 to May 1984.
