Tickell Peak is a peak rising to 951 feet above sea level, to the east of Roché Peak, overlooking the north coast of Bird Island, off South Georgia. It is the second highest peak on the island.
The hill is named after Dr William Lancelot Noyes Tickell (b. 1930) who pioneered seabird research on Bird Island, implementing a long-term albatross monitoring programme on the island.
