Baldwin Peak (64°23′S 60°45′W) is a peak between Lilienthal Glacier and Mount Berry in northern Graham Land. It was photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956–57 and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Thomas Scott Baldwin, American inventor of the vent opening which gives control and stability to parachutes.
