The Nell Peak (English; Bulgarian връх Нел wrach Nel ) is a 1700  m high and partly freezing mountain in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises 4.93 km north of Mount Weems , 9.07 km east-northeast of Mount Lymburner , 9.4 km southeast of Mount Liavaag and 14.4 km south of Lanz Peak near the northern end of the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains .

American scientists mapped it in 1961. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the British geologist Philip Nell, a member of a Bulgarian-British team in the exploration of Alexander I Island organized by the British Antarctic Survey between 1987 and 1988.
