Batuliya Point (Bulgarian: нос Батулия, ‘Nos Batuliya’ \'nos ba-'tu-li-ya\) is an ice-free tipped point forming the east extremity of Robert Island and the south side of the entrance to Tsepina Cove in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.
The point, projecting 550 m into Bransfield Strait, is situated 5.4 km northeast of the southeast extremity of Robert Point, 3 km north-northeast of Sadala Point, and 1.9 km south (and a trifle to the east) of Kitchen Point.
The feature is named after the settlement of Batuliya in western Bulgaria.
