The Tutton Point is the southwestern foothills of the Liard Island in the archipelago of Adelaide- and Biscoe Islands off the Loubet coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . The headland protrudes into the Hanusse Bay and is the starting point for walks into the interior of the island.
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped them using aerial photographs taken by the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) and the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–1957). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the British mineralogist Alfred Edwin Howard Tutton (1864-1938).
