Mossman Peninsula is a narrow peninsula 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, extending south from the western part of Laurie Island and separating Scotia Bay and Wilton Bay, in the South Orkney Islands of Antarctica. Point Martin lies on the eastern side of the peninsula. It was first discovered in December 1821 by British sealer Captain George Powell and American sealer Captain Nathaniel Palmer during their joint exploration of the South Orkney Islands. Powell's map, published in 1822, provided the earliest rough charting of the area.
