The Swan Point is the western headland of Odbert island in the archipelago of the Windmill Islands off the Budd Coast of the East Antarctic Wilke country .
Aerial photographs of the US operation Highjump (1946–1947) and Operation Windmill (1947–1948) were used to map them. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1963 after John R. Swan, a weather observer at Wilkes Station in 1958.
