A Sister Trope to Villainous Cheekbones and Sinister Schnoz. Like those two, this trope is about pointy facial features for villainous characters. While the Lantern Jaw of Justice is used to denote heroes, villains are more likely to have skinny, pointy chins. They may be short and skinny, or exaggeratedly long, extending past the face and maybe even curling upwards a little.
A pointy Beard of Evil can be used to similar effect. Bonus points if the two are combined.
This is mainly seen on Lean and Mean characters. It is usually seen on a Dastardly Whiplash, a Wicked Witch, or a Villainous Harlequin. It's also a frequent feature of Classical Movie Vampires and characters who Look Like Orlok, though neither Bela Lugosi's Dracula nor Max Schreck's Count Orlok possessed the feature themselves.note Lugosi had a broad chin bordering on being lantern jaw with slight but noticeable jowls, and Schreck's chin was round and somewhat underdeveloped, though it appeared slightly more pointed than it was in some shots due to being accented by his sharply angled Villainous Cheekbones.
Villainous chins usually are limited to male characters and elderly female characters, because of the higher demand for female characters to be conventionally aesthetically pleasing, whether good or evil. Nonetheless, if a villainess's chin is exceptionally lean compared to the other women, she still fits the trope.
Contrast Lantern Jaw of Justice.

Opinion is divided as to whether Lord Vetinari in the Discworld classes as good or evil, or in some way transcends both. But both in writing and in pictorial descriptions, he is long, thin and angular, and has a prominent chin with goatee beard. note This is very reminiscent of Roger Delgrado's character of The Master in Doctor Who, in fact

Carmilla in Castlevania (2017) has a thin, pointy chin and is also the least sympathetic of all the vampire generals in the plot. It also gives her face a strong resemblance to the opera mask form she took in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.

Maligula of Psychonauts 2 has a very noticeable one to go with her Villainous Cheekbones. Notably, while she still this as Lucrecia Mux, she's almost always depicted at angles that make her chin look shorter and broader before her Face–Heel Turn.

Courage the Cowardly Dog: In "The Quilt Club'', the Stitch Sisters are a pair of ungodly thin, pale-skinned Conjoined Twins whose eeriness is supported by their pencil-thin chins.
Di Lung's presumable Evil Counterpart to Eustace Bagge's Lantern Jaw of Justice also deserves special mention; whenever he gets a major "villain" role in an episode, he makes Eustace look like a hero.

LazyTown:
Played straight with Robbie Rotten, who has an extended chin aided by prosthetics. While the chin isn't as pointy as other examples on this entry, it's made to look more realistic, but it is still very long and sharp. Robbie is the main villain in the show and he is focused on making the inhabitants of lazy town as gluttonous and lazy as possible.
Subverted with Sportacus; he has a really big and sharp chin, but he's a main good guy in the show and he is focused on making the inhabitants of Lazytown as healthy and active as possible.
