The Talbott Point is a headland that the northern foothills of DuBois Iceland in Archipelago Biscoe Islands off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula forms.
Aerial photographs taken between 1956 and 1957 during the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition were used to map them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them after the US physiologist John Harold Talbott (1902–1990), who studied the effects of climatic changes on the human body.
