Devold Peak (72°15′S 26°44′E) is a peak, 3,280 metres (10,760 ft) high, between Kjelbotn Peak and the Pukkelen Rocks near the head of Byrdbreen in the Sør Rondane Mountains. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1937 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named for Hallvard Devold, who with Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen and Olav Kjelbotn attempted the exploration of the Princess Ragnhild Coast by dog sledge in 1933.
