Cape Verde is a large promontory and extremity on the rim of Victoria Crater in Meridiani Planum, an extraterrestrial plain within the Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle (MC-19) region of the planet Mars.
The Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity perched atop this feature in 2006 to take a true-color mosaic of the crater below.
Sols 958 to 991 were spent on this cape, including the period of solar conjunction which spanned from sol 970 to sol 984.

Cape Verde and neighboring Cabo Frio are named after Cape Verde and Cabo Frio, places visited on Ferdinand Magellan's voyage around the world by the ship Victoria.
