The zenith.

The concept of "above" makes sense only in the context of gravitational pull. On the Earth's surface, barring any other forces, that means "above" is outward away from the center of the Earth. That means, "above" you is any point lying along the outward extension of that line between the center and you.
That point is called the zenith: "The point on the celestial sphere that is directly above the observer" [See source.]
