Jewfish Point is a cape in Los Angeles County, in the U.S. state of California.^[1] It is located on the Southeast coast of Santa Catalina Island.^[2] The cape was named for a type of fish (grouper, formerly known as "jew fish") prized for its taste.^[3] The site was also considered a good place to fish for "record-breaking black sea bass".^[4]

The point is used as a landmark for defining marine areas near the island, such as a commercial fishing restriction in the 1960s.^[5] It is currently one of the boundaries of Binnacle Rock to Jewfish Point Area of Special Biological Significance off Catalina.^[6]
