The Grew Peak is a 1400 m high secondary peak of the Mount Murphy massif in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . It rises from the northeast ridge between Benedict Peak and the elevations in the center of the massif.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from the years 1959 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1976 after the US geologist Edward Sturgis Grew (* 1944), who in the year 1973 worked as an exchange scientist on the Soviet Molodjoschnaja station .
