Hobbs Point (64°37′S 62°3′W / 64.617°S 62.050°W / -64.617; -62.050) is the northeastern end of Brooklyn Island in Wilhelmina Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Graham J.
