Labbé Point is a point projecting {{convert|600|m|yd|abbr=on}} into the southwest part of Discovery Bay from Parvomay Neck, Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica with an adjacent ice-free area of {{convert|11|ha|acre}}.L.L. Ivanov. [http://apcbg.org/image023.jpg Antarctica: Livingston Island and Greenwich, Robert, Snow and Smith Islands.] Scale 1:120000 topographic map. Troyan: Manfred Wörner Foundation, 2009. {{ISBN|978-954-92032-6-4}} The point forms the northwest side of the entrance to Basullo Cove and the east side of the entrance to Vinett Cove ({{coord|62|29|42|S|59|44|55|W|}}). The small Basso Island ({{coord|62|29|38.9|S|59|44|02|W|}}) is linked by a mainly submerged spit to the north side of Labbé Point.

The features were charted and named by the 1947 Chilean Antarctic Expedition after members of the expedition: Lieutenant Custodio Labbé, navigation officer of the transport ship Angamos; Vinett, the boatswain of the expedition; and Juan Basso, chief storekeeper on the frigate Iquique.
