Stigant Point is a conspicuous point, 65 m high, lying {{convert|11|km|abbr=on}} south-west of Davey Point on the north coast of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It was charted in 1935 by DI personnel, and named for G. B. Stigant, Chief Civil Hydrographic Officer of the Hydrographic Department of the Admiralty.

Important Bird Area

The point has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a large breeding colony of about 11,000 pairs of Adélie penguins. Antarctic fur seals also breed at the site.[1]
