Cape Bridgman (Danish: Kap Bridgman) is a headland in the Wandel Sea, Arctic Ocean, northeast Greenland.

The cape was named by Robert Peary after Herbert L. Bridgman, one of the members of the Peary Arctic Club in New York.[1]

The northernmost human remains of the Independence I culture, and thus the world, was described at Cape Bridgman by Peter Dawes in a letter to Eigil Knuth; they comprise three sites of tent rings and flagstones, although it is likely that this was a short-term expedition with permanent settlement at Frigg Fjord slightly to the south.[2]
