Röntgen Peak is a peak 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) southeast of Cape Cockburn in the northeast part of Pasteur Peninsula, Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Shown on an Argentine government chart in 1953, but not named. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956–57, and mapped from these photos in 1959. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923), German physicist who discovered X-rays in 1895.
