Roberts Point Track is an 11–12.3-kilometre tramping track in Franz Josef Glacier and Westland Tai Poutini National Park, New Zealand. It takes approximately 5 hours and 20 minutes to complete. Within the track are swing bridges, ice-carved rock, waterfalls, and sheer cliffs. After about an hour walk is Hende's Hut. It is classified by the Department of Conservation as an advanced track, requiring a "good level of fitness".

Roberts Point Track was constructed in 1907 with the purpose of providing tourists with a place to view the Franz Josef Glacier.
