Mayo Peak (74°49′S 110°33′W) is a flattish summit, about 300 metres (1,000 ft) high, which forms the south end of the Jones Bluffs, Bear Peninsula, on the Walgreen Coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 1977 after Elbert A. Mayo, Jr., of U.S. Navy Squadron VXE-6, a flight engineer on LC-130 aircraft, who participated in five Operation Deep Freeze deployments.
