Takev Point (Bulgarian: Такев нос, ‘Takev Nos’ \'ta-kev 'nos\) is the rocky point forming the south extremity of Heros Peninsula on the Foyn Coast, Antarctic Peninsula.
The feature is named after Vasiliy Takev, a participant in the 1996/97 Bulgarian Antarctic campaign, for his support for the Bulgarian Antarctic programme.
Takev Point is located 4.65 km west-southwest of Spur Point and 8.17 km east-northeast of Varad Point. It was mapped by British cartographers in 1974.
