Coupvent Point (63°16′S 57°36′W / 63.267°S 57.6°W) is a point, with several off-lying rocks, projecting north from Trinity Peninsula, 5 nautical miles (9 km) southwest of Lafarge Rocks. The name "Roche Coupvent" (Coupvent Rock) was given by Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville to a feature in the vicinity. The present name revives the d'Urville naming, given for August Coupvent-Desbois, officer on the Zelee and later the Astrolabe.
