The Feeney Peak is a 1,210  m high mountain in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the Queen Maud Mountains it rises in the center of the Medina Peaks 11 km north of Patterson Peak on the east flank of the Goodale Glacier .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of 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 Robert Earl Feeney (1913-2006), biologist at McMurdo Station in several summer campaigns between 1964 and 1969. Due to the similar spelling, there is a certain likelihood of confusion with Feeley Peak in the Horlick Mountains .
