Harvey Peak (79°13′S 157°1′E) is an ice-free peak, 2,120 metres (6,960 ft) high, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of the Finger Ridges in the Cook Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1959–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Paul Harvey, a member of the U.S. Army aviation support unit for Topo North and Topo South (1961–62) which conducted the tellurometer surveys.
