Cape Catastrophe is a headland located at the south east tip of Jussieu Peninsula in South Australia. It is one of the natural features named by Matthew Flinders (1774-1814) in memory of the eight crew who were lost from a cutter that capsized sometime after being launched from the HM Sloop Investigator to search for water on 21 February 1802.
