Coyer Point (74°24′S 113°13′W) is an ice-covered headland on the southeast side of the Martin Peninsula. It is the north end of an ice-covered peninsula that extends into Dotson Ice Shelf, 23 nautical miles (43 km) south-southeast of Jacobsen Head, Bakutis Coast, Marie Byrd Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1959–67, and Landsat imagery, 1972–73. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1977 after Lieutenant Ann E. Coyer, U.S. Navy, the first U.S. Navy woman to participate in Antarctic operations, who took part in Operation Deep Freeze, 1974.
