The Feeley Peak is a 1,730 m high mountain in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . On the north side of the Wisconsin Range in the Horlick Mountains, it rises 5 km northwest of Sheets Peak between the Davisville and Quonset glaciers .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Keith E. Feeley (* 1925), a construction mechanic at Byrd Station in Antarctic winter 1959. Due to the similar spelling, there is a certain risk of confusion with Feeney Peak in the Queen Maud Mountains .
