The Marshall Peak is a 1,205 m high mountain on the Black Coast of Palmer Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 10 km northwest of the head end of Palmer Inlet . Apart from its rocky northeast flank, the mountain is icy.

Participants of the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939-1941) mapped this stretch of coast in 1940. The mountain itself was mapped in 1947 by participants of the US Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) together with scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The latter named him after Norman Bertram Marshall (1915-1996), who worked from 1945 to 1946 as a zoologist for the FIDS on the station in Hope Bay .
