The Naze is a peninsula of James Ross Island off Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory. It terminates in Dagger Peak and Comb Ridge, and forms the south-eastern entrance of Croft Bay.

The headland was surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition in 1903 commanded by Otto Nordenskjöld and named descriptively Näsudden or the English equivalent, 'The Naze' on later charts.

The headland was resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in November 1945. It was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in 1952-54.
