Trifonova Point (Bulgarian: нос Трифонова, romanized: nos Trifonova, IPA: [ˈnɔs ˈtrifonovɐ]) is the sharp ice-free tipped west entrance point of Valchev Cove on the northwest coast of Hurd Peninsula, projecting 160 m into Emona Anchorage and forming the northeast extremity of Bulgarian Beach on Livingston Island in Antarctica. Formed as a result of the retreat of Perunika Glacier at the beginning of 21st century.^[1]

The feature is named after the Bulgarian photographer, Iglika Trifonova, a participant in several Bulgarian Antarctic expeditions.^[2]^[3]
