The point at which the lines through the polygon vertices of a triangle perpendicular to the corresponding sides of the first Brocard triangle, are concurrent. The Tarry point lies on the circumcircle opposite the Steiner point . It has equivalent triangle center functions

where is the Brocard angle. The Simson line of the Tarry point is perpendicular to the line , when is the circumcenter and is the symmedian point (Lachlan 1893; Johnson 1929; Honsberger 1995, p. 121). The Tarry point of the first Brocard triangle of a triangle is the circumcenter of (Honsberger 1995, pp. 120-121).

Given a triangle with first Neuberg triangle , the lines , , and are concurrent at the Tarry point (Johnson 1929, p. 288).
