Penamaan titik utama kompas

Penamaan titik utama kompas adalah pemberian nama ke-32 mata angin dalam kompas secara berurutan searah jarum jam. Nama-nama ini dibentuk dari inisial (huruf depan) dalam bahasa Inggris dari arah mata angin utama dan arah mata angin pertengahan, dan sangat berguna untuk merujuk ke suatu arah (atau azimut) dalam bentuk umum maupun bahasa percakapan sehari-hari, tanpa harus menghitung atau menyebutkan derajatnya. Walaupun asalnya dari bahasa Inggris, nama-nama ini digunakan secara internasional.
