Organpipe Point is a prominent east-west trending headland rising to about 60 or 70 m on the northwest coast of Varna Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and forming the north side of the entrance to Charybdis Cove and the southwest side of the entrance to Griffin Cove.

The feature is descriptively named in association with the notable doleritic rock showing sub-vertical continuous columnar joints resembling organ pipes.

Location

The point is located at {{coord|62|28|15.9|S|60|09|07.3|W|}} which is 1.23 km northeast of Slab Point, 350 m east of Zavala Island, 830 m southwest of Gargoyle Bastion and 2.26 km south-southwest of Williams Point (British mapping in 1968, and Bulgarian in 2005 and 2009).
