Location of Biscoe Islands in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

Tula Point (65°31′S 65°39′W / 65.517°S 65.650°W / -65.517; -65.650) is a point forming the northeast extremity of Renaud Island in the Biscoe Islands. Alino Island lies 1 km south-southeast of the point.

The Biscoe Islands were discovered in 1832 by a British expedition under John Biscoe and were first roughly surveyed by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05 and 1908–10. Renaud Island was again roughly surveyed in 1935-36 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE). The point was named in 1954 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the Tula, one of the two vessels of Biscoe's 1830-32 expedition.
