Barima Point (Spanish: Punta Barima), is a small settlement in the Antonio Díaz municipality of Delta Amacuro state in Venezuela, at the mouth of the Barima River.

It has a lighthouse, Faro Barima, and a Coast Guard Station.

The city was controlled by British Guiana until 1899, when it was returned to Venezuela in the Paris Arbitral Award.
