Heintz Peak (70°56′S 63°42′W) is the summit at the north end of the west ridge of the Welch Mountains, about 2 nautical miles (4 km) north of Mount Acton, in Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey in 1974, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander Harvey L. Heintz, U.S. Navy, Commander of LC-130 aircraft during Operation Deep Freeze, 1969 and 1970.
