False Cape Renard () is a rocky cape southwest of
Cape Renard, on the northwest coast of
Kyiv Peninsula,
Graham Land. It was charted by the
Belgian Antarctic Expedition under
Gerlache, 1897–99. This feature and Cape Renard together were called "The Needles" by
Henryk Arctowski, geologist, oceanographer and meteorologist with the Belgian expedition. Since the two capes are easily confused and need to be distinguished, a collective name is considered unsuitable. The name "False Cape Renard" was applied by the
French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under
Jean-Baptiste Charcot.
