Lamina Peak is a mountain of the Douglas Range in the north-east of Alexander Island in the British Antarctic Territory. It rises to 4,200 feet, standing to the east-north-east of Mount Edred and overlooking the George VI Sound.
The mountain was photographed from the air by Ellsworth on 23 November 1935. It was roughly surveyed from the ground (and again photographed from the air) by the British Graham Land Expedition in October 1936; resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Stonington Island in 1948-49.
The mountain is named 'Lamina' from the marked horizontal stratification of the rocks exposed in the peak.
