Eldred Point (75°30′S 141°58′W / 75.500°S 141.967°W) is an ice-covered point which marks the west side of the terminus of Land Glacier on the coast of Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1959–65, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for David T.
