Irnik Point ({{langx|bg|нос Ирник}}, ‘Nos Irnik’ \'nos ir-'nik\) is the ice-free southwest entrance point to Brauro Cove on the northwest coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is situated 3.5 km southwest of Cape Timblón, 2 km southwest of Mezdra Point, and 7.4 km northeast of Byewater Point.

The point is named after the legendary Khan Irnik listed in the 8th-century 'Nominalia of the Bulgarian Khans', considered to be the same as one of Attila's sons, Ernak.
