The Hobbs Peak is a 1,510 m high and prominent mountain in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises up on the watershed between Hobbs Glacier and Blue Glacier in the Denton Hills .
Participants in a campaign carried out by Victoria University's Antarctic Expeditions from 1960 to 1961 climbed it. They named it based on the naming of the glacier of the same name after the American glaciologist William Herbert Hobbs (1864-1953).
