'''Index Peak''' ({{Coord|65|49|S|64|26|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a [peak](/source/summit_(topography)) over {{Convert|1,220|m}} high, standing {{Convert|7.5|mi|0}} southeast of [Cape Garcia](/source/Cape_Garcia) on the west coast of [Graham Land](/source/Graham_Land), Antarctica. It was mapped by the [Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey](/source/Falkland_Islands_Dependencies_Survey) from photos taken by [Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd](/source/Hunting_Aerosurveys_Ltd) in 1956–57, and so named by the [UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee](/source/UK_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee) because the peak resembles an [index finger](/source/index_finger).<ref name=gnis/>
