Gostilya Point (Bulgarian: нос Гостиля, romanized: Nos Gostilya \'nos go-'sti-lya\) is the point on the southwest side of the entrance to Tlachene Cove on Loubet Coast, Antarctic Peninsula. The point was formed as a result of the retreat of Hopkins Glacier during the last two decades of the 20th century.

The feature is named after the settlement of Gostilya in Northern Bulgaria.
