Archer Peak (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a peak, 110 metres (360 ft) high, on the southwest extremity of Possession Island, Antarctica. It was named by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900, either for A. Archer, Esq., of Australia, mentioned in the preface to Carsten Borchgrevink's First on the Antarctic Continent, or for Colin Archer who designed Borchgrevink's vessel, the SS Southern Cross.
