Hendrickson Peak (85°56′S 132°49′W) is a rock peak rising over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) at the west side of Reedy Glacier, standing 2 nautical miles (4 km) west of May Peak in the Quartz Hills of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for George Hendrickson, a glaciologist at Byrd Station in 1962–63 and 1963–64.
