The Brewer Peak is a 2,110  m high mountain in the Admiralty Mountains in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises along the west face of the Pitkevitch Glacier near its head end.

The United States Geological Survey mapped it using surveys and aerial photographs from the United States Navy between 1960 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Thomas J. Brewer, who was steward at McMurdo Station in 1967.
