Royak Point (Bulgarian: нос Рояк, ‘Nos Royak’ \'nos ro-'yak\) is the rocky point on the northwest coast of Sjögren Inlet in southern Trinity Peninsula, Graham Land in Antarctica. It is formed by the southeast extremity of Aldomir Ridge, as a result of the retreat of Sjögren Glacier and Boydell Glacier in the first decade of 21st century.
