The Mutel peak is 860 m high and rocky mountains in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the Ford Ranges it rises 3 km southwest of Mount Iphigene .

Aerial photographs of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–1930) and the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941), both under the direction of the US polar explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd , were used for rough mapping. The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1959 to 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after the ionospheric physicist Robert Lucien Mutel (* 1946), who lived on the Byrd- Station was active.
