The Cléry Peak ( French Pic Cléry ) is a 640 m high mountain at the northeast end of Booth Island in the Wilhelm Archipelago off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises on the north side of Mount Lacroix .

Participants in the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition (1903-1905) were the first to map it. The expedition leader and polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot named the mountain after his father-in-law Léon Cléry (1831–1904). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names converted the French name into English in 1952.
