Point Lepreau is a cape located in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada.

It is located at the southern tip of a 10 km long peninsula that extends into the Bay of Fundy. This peninsula contains the boundary between Saint John County to the east and Charlotte County to the west, although the southernmost tip at Point Lepreau is within Charlotte County.

Point Lepreau forms the eastern limit of Maces Bay.

The point hosts a light station operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. The Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station is a CANDU nuclear reactor operated by NB Power and is located approximately 2 km northeast from the point and is in Saint John County.
