Double Island Point is a coastal headland in Queensland, Australia. It’s the next headland north of Noosa and is within the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park, at the southern end of Wide Bay.

The point was named by Captain Cook when he passed it on 18 May 1770, "on account of its figure" (ie. shape). In the original of his journal he had written Fiddle head, but crossed that out.
