Aughenbaugh Peak is a sharp peak rising to 5,900 feet amongst the Dufek Massif, in the Pensacola Mountains of Queen Elizabeth Land in the British Antarctic Territory. The mountain stands three-quarters of a mile north-east of Neuburg Peak in south-west of the Dufek Massif.
Following air photography by the United States Navy in 1964 and mapping on the United States Geological Survey Pensacola Mountains Project, 1965-66, the mountain was named after Nolan B. Aughenbaugh, the United States Antarctic Research Program glaciologist, 'Ellsworth Station', winter 1957.
