Mistake Peak (77°26′S 160°14′E) is a snowy peak, about 2,600 metres (8,500 ft) high, rising 3 nautical miles (6 km) west-southwest of Shapeless Mountain, at the south end of the Willett Range in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was so named in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58), because they mistakenly climbed the mountain in the belief they were on Shapeless Mountain.
