The Hadley Peak is a 2,660 m high mountain in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the Thiel Mountains, it towers above the step on the northern edge of the Ford massif .
The geologist Arthur B. Ford and the cartographer Peter Frank Bermel suggested the name in the course of an expedition led by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to the Thiel Mountains between 1960 and 1961. It is named after Jarvis Bardwell Hadley (1909–1974), head of the USGS's geological research program in Antarctica .
