Fukushima Peak is a high, pointed rocky peak, 4,634 metres (15,203 ft) high, near the south edge of the ice-covered Vinson Plateau in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica.

The peak was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2006 after Eiichi Fukushima, a member of the 1966–67 American Antarctic Mountaineering Expedition that made the first ascent of Mount Vinson, the summit of Antarctica, and other high mountains in the Sentinel Range.[1]
