Roché Peak is a conspicuous pyramidal peak rising to 1,198 feet, the highest feature on Bird Island, South Georgia. It stands a mile west of the eastern extremity of the island.
The peal was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1960 after the British sailor Anthony de la Roché who discovered South Georgia in 1675.
