Tanglefoot Peak (67°21′S 67°33′W) is a prominent rocky peak of 650 m at the end of Haslam Heights, Arrowsmith Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land. Probably first sighted by members of the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot who roughly charted this area in 1909. Surveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and so named from the broken ridge extending south and southeast from the peak.
