Scudder Peak (75°53′S 115°12′W) is a small rock peak just southwest of Spitz Ridge on the south side of Toney Mountain.

Discovery and name

The peak and its surrounding area were mapped by USGS from ground surveys and United States Navy air photos collected during the years 1959–66. Scudder Peak was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in honor of Brent E. Scudder, who served as a meteorologist at Byrd Station in 1966.
