Indira Point is the southern tip of the Indian ocean island of Great Nicobar, in the Nicobar Islands south of Burma. It represents the southernmost point of Indian national territory, some 1100 miles ESE of India's mainland and only about 100 miles NE of Sumatra in Indonesia.

It was formerly known as Pygmalion Point and was renamed in honor of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (1917-1984).
