Buneva Point (Bulgarian: нос Бунева, ‘Nos Buneva’ \'nos 'bu-ne-va\) is the sharp rocky point on the northwest coast of Alexander Island in Antarctica projecting 1 km west-southwestwards into Lazarev Bay just south of the terminus of Lennon Glacier. It is formed by the north extremity of the homonymous rocky coastal ridge extending 3.7 km in southeast direction.

The feature is named after Mara Buneva (1902-1928), heroine of the Bulgarian liberation movement in Macedonia.
