Paulsen Peak is a rock peak in the Allardyce Range of South Georgia, climbing to a summit at 6,152 feet, standing near the head of Lyell Glacier, two miles north-north-west of Mount Sugartop.
The peak is named by the Antarctic Place-Names Committee following mapping by the South Georgia Survey of 1951–52, for Harald B. Paulsen (1898–1951), a leading figure in the Norwegian whaling industry and editor of Norsk-Hvalfangst Tidende, Managing Director of Hvalfangerforeningen, Hvalfangstens Arbeidsgiverforening and De Norske Hvalfangstelskapers Forbund, 1946-51.
