Stirling Point is a landmark at the southern end of the New Zealand in a town called Bluff, New Zealand. It is notable as the southern end of both State Highway 1 and Te Araroa; both these facilities span the length of the country. Stirling Point hosts a signpost with multiple directional signs; it is the most photographed item in Southland. Stirling Point has an anchor chain sculpture which replicates the sculpture on Stewart Island.
