Sandilh Point (Bulgarian: нос Сандилх, ‘Nos Sandilh’ \'nos san-'dilh\) is the partly ice-free point on the northwest side of the entrance to Durostorum Bay on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land. It is situated at the east extremity of Tepava Ridge, and was formed as a result of the break-up of Larsen Ice Shelf in the area, and the retreat of Pequod Glacier in the early 21st century. Named after the Bulgar ruler Sandilh (6th century).

Im Exasperation Inlet liegt sie als östlicher Ausläufer des Tepava Ridge 7,5 km südöstlich des Kalina Point und 6,7 km nordwestlich des Ranyari Point auf der Nordwestseite der Einfahrt zur Durostorum Bay. Freigelegt wurde die Landspitze infolge des Aufbrechens des Larsen-Schelfeises im Jahr 2002 und dem sich daran anschließenden Rückzug des Pequod-Gletschers.
