The Kooyman Peak is a 1630 m high mountain in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Elizabeth Range of the Transantarctic Mountains, it rises from the ridge just south of the Dorrer Glacier .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own tellurometer measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after the American biologist Gerald L. Kooyman, who was part of the United States Antarctic Research Program worked at McMurdo Station in three consecutive Antarctic summer campaigns between 1961 and 1965 .
