Artist Point is an overlook point on the edge of a cliffVery steep or vertical slope (bluff, crag, head, headland, nose, palisades, precipice, promontory, rim, rimrock){{cite web |url=http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=132:8:2951474085772218 |title=Feature Class Definitions |publisher=Geographic Names Information System |accessdate=2012-08-18}} on the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The point is located east-northeast of Yellowstone Falls on the Yellowstone River. Artist Point was originally named in 1883 by Frank Jay Haynes who improperly believed that the point was the place at which painter Thomas Moran sketched his 1872 depictions of the falls. Later work determined that the sketches were made from the north rim, but the name Artist Point stuck.{{cite book |last=Whittlesey |first=Lee H. |title=Yellowstone Place Names |publisher=Wonderland Publishing Company |location=Gardiner, MT |year=2006 |isbn=1-59971-716-6 |page=40}}
