Lebed Point (Bulgarian: нос Лебед, ‘Nos Lebed’ \'nos 'le-bed\) is the rocky point on the south side of the entrance to Istros Bay on the east coast of Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

The point is “named after the settlement of Lebed in Southern Bulgaria, and in connection with the fishing trawler Lebed of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas that operated in Antarctic waters off South Georgia in the 1970/71 season. The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the Soviet Union, Poland and East Germany are the pioneers of modern Antarctic fishing industry.”[1]
