Hessler Peak (79°37′S 84°2′W) is a sharp peak, 1,670 metres (5,480 ft) high, at the south end of Dunbar Ridge in the Heritage Range in Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1961–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Victor P. Hessler, an ionospheiric physicist and United States Antarctic Research Program scientist at the Soviet Vostok Station in the 1965–66 and 1966–67 summer seasons.
