Clifford Peak is a mountain 3,800 feet high, at the north-east end of the Osterrieth Range of Anvers Island, in the Palmer Archipelago within the British Antarctic Territory.
The mountain was probably first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache.
The peak was named by members of HMS Snipe following an Antarctic cruise in January 1948, for Sir G Miles Clifford, the Governor of the Falkland Islands at the time.
