West Point is the westernmost point in Seattle, Washington, United States, jutting into Puget Sound from the Magnolia neighborhood.

At the point itself is the 1881 West Point Lighthouse, the first manned light station on Puget Sound. Just to the east is King County's sewage treatment plant, and beyond that, Discovery Park, formerly the U.S. Army's Fort Lawton. The original Duwamish Indian name for West Point, transliterated variously as PKa'dz Elue, Oka-dz-elt-cu, Per-co-dus-chule, or Pka-dzEltcu, means thrust far out.
