Santa Cruz Point, also Spencer Bluff, is a rocky point forming the east extremity of Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and the southwest side of the entrance to English Strait. Surmounted by Bogdan Ridge on the west.

The name appears on a 1949 Argentine chart, probably for the Argentine vessel Santa Cruz that visited the South Shetlands in 1948.
