'''Cape Emine''' ({{langx|bg|Нос Емине}} {{IPA|bg|ˈnɔs ˈɛminɛ|}}) is a [[headland]] located at the [[Bulgarian Black Sea Coast]]. It is located {{convert|49|mi|km|order=flip}} south of [[Varna, Bulgaria|Varna]], {{convert|34|mi|km|abbr=on|order=flip}} north of [[Burgas]] and {{convert|9|mi|km|abbr=on|0|order=flip}} south of [[Obzor]]. It forms the tip of [[Stara Planina]]. Cape Emine is said to be [[Bulgaria]]'s stormiest cape.

In the [[Middle Ages]], there was a fortress called ''Emona'' on Cape Emine. Its name was derived from ''Aemon'', the ancient name for [[Stara Planina]]. Nowadays, only some ruins of the fortress are left. There are also remnants of a [[monastery]] and a [[lighthouse]]. The village of [[Emona (Burgas)|Emona]] is located nearby.

Cape Emine is the endpoint of the [[European walking route E3]] (its Bulgarian section is also known as "[[Kom–Emine]]").
