Quadrant Peak is a pyramidal peak forming the summit of Vindication Island, one of the South Sandwich Islands. It reaches 1,411 feet above sea level.
The peak forms a narrow ridge above the uniform slopes of the original volcanic cone, and is a quadrant of what was probably once a circular mass cone. The peak was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1971.
