Potato Point is a village in the Eurobodalla Shire lying on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is connected by road to the town of Bodalla, and surrounded by the Eurobodalla National Park..

The beaches on either side of the Point are Potato Beach (north) and Jemmison's Beach (south). The latter is open to rough seas and wild winds, whereas the former is more sheltered and known locally for good surfing breaks and fine beach fishing. Notable diving locations are found offshore from the Point, which can be accessed from the local north-facing boat ramp. The Point is also home to the Montague Dive Club. Immediately to the north lies the Blackfellows Point Caravan Park. Immediately to the south lies a small shallow unnamed coastal lake which abounds in bird-life at various times of the year. Horse trails snake through the hinterland.

As of the 2006 census, there were 145 private dwellings and 136 permanent residents. The only non-residental facilities are the local rural fire brigade depot which houses two appliances, toilet and shower block, boat ramp, two small parks and a telephone box.
