Cape Greig is a geographical feature of the Alaska Peninsula, where a high ridge (approx. 100 meters - 290 feet) abuts into the Bering Sea. It is located on the Bristol Bay coast eight miles north of Smoky Point (Ugashik Bay) and 32 miles south of Goose Point (Egegik Bay).

The highest point of the cape features a navigational lighthouse operated by the U.S. Coast Guard.

A marker placed on the upper seaward edge of the cape indicates the northernmost reach of the legal commercial fishing area called the Ugashik District by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the southernmost marker being located on the nearby (20 miles south) Cape Menshikof.
