Maling Peak is a hill of 1,410 feet on the west side of Marshall Bay on Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

The peak was roughly charted by Discovery Investigations in 1933. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1948-49, and named after Derek Hilton Maling (1923-1998), the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey meteorological observer, Signy, 1948-50, who with R.M. Laws (from whom the Laws Glacier is named) made the survey.
