Ongal Peak (Vrah Ongal \'vr&h 'on-g&l) is a sharp glaciated peak on the Levski Ridge, Tangra Mountains, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The peak was first ascended and surveyed on 21 December 2004 by the Bulgarian Lyubomir Ivanov from Camp Academia. It was named after the historic Ongal region of the First Bulgarian Empire located in the Danube Delta area and north of the Black Sea, in connection with the Battle of Ongal.
