Carcelles Peak (54°22′S 36°30′W) is a peak rising above 1,065 metres (3,500 ft) immediately south of the head of Moraine Fjord, South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Alberto Carcelles, who made biological collections at South Georgia in 1926–27 and 1929–30 for the Museo Nacional de Buenos Aires.
