As commented by @Roy, you could make a point in layer and then buffer it into a new layer.

The workflow I have recently been using is to create the point in a Memory Layer, create the buffer into a shapefile saved in a temporary location, then copy and paste the polygon into the final layer. A bit long but works OK.

And then just create buffers on shapes (through Vector > Geoprocessing tools) and precise the desired radius.
