The Callender Peak is a 1340 m high, distinctive and mostly icy sub-peak of the Mount Murphy massif in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . It rises 15 km east-northeast of the main summit.
The United States Geological Survey first mapped it from aerial photographs of the US American Operation Highjump (1946–1947) from January 1947. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Gordon Warren Callender Jr. (* 1945) of the United States Navy , senior officer on Byrd Station in 1966.
