Satovcha Peak (Bulgarian: връх Сатовча, romanizedvrah Satovcha, IPA: [ˈvrɤx sɐˈtɔft͡ʃɐ]) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 1587 m[1] in Havre Mountains, northern Alexander Island in Antarctica. It surmounts Bongrain Ice Piedmont to the northeast and Lennon Glacier to the southwest. Its south slopes are precipitous and partly ice-free. The vicinity was visited on 4 January 1988 by the geological survey party of Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov (First Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition), and Philip Nell and Peter Marquis (British Antarctic Survey).

The feature is named after the settlement of Satovcha in Southwestern Bulgaria.
