Nedelya Point (Bulgarian: нос Неделя, ‘Nos Nedelya’ \'nos ne-'de-lya\) is a sharp ice-free point at the southwest extremity of Ivanov Beach on the north coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, projecting 300 m into Barclay Bay. It is linked by a chain of rocks to Cutler Stack, located 310 m to the north-northwest. The feature was visited by a field party from the British base camp Station P during the summer season 1957/58. It is part of the Antarctic Specially Protected Area ASPA 126 Byers Peninsula, situated in one of its two restricted zones.
The point is named for Bulgarian educator Nedelya Petkova (1826–1894).
