The Boudette Peaks are two 2815 m and 2810 m high mountains in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . They project 1.5 kilometers west-southwest of the Lavris peak in the northern part of the massif of Mount Hartigan in the Executive Committee Range on.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) mapped them using their own surveys and Trimetrogon aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1958 to 1960. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1962 after Eugene L. Boudette (1926–2007), geologist of the USGS and member of the team that crossed Marie Byrd Land between 1959 and 1960.
