Pérez Peak (65°25′S 64°5′W) is a distinctive peak 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southeast of Cape Pérez on the rugged peninsula between Collins Bay and Beascochea Bay, in western Graham Land. The name "Sommet du Grand Pérez" was given by J.B. Charcot during the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10. It derived from nearby Cape Pérez, after three brothers Manuel, Fernando and Leopoldo Pérez of Buenos Aires. The name Pérez Peak has been established in use since 1957.
