The Ugain Point (English; Bulgarian нос Угаин nos Ugain ) is a rocky headland on the west coast of Rugged Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It separates 1.76 km north-northwest of Benson Point , 0.97 km north of Kokalyane Point and 1.55 km south of Cape Sheffield, the Smyadovo Cove in the north from Bogomil Cove in the south.

British scientists mapped it in 1968, Spanish in 1992 and Bulgarian in 2005, 2009 and 2010. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2009 after the Bulgarian ruling house Ugain in the 8th century .
