The Pastor peak is around 2000  m high mountain in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . It rises on the north face of the Colorado Glacier halfway between Teller Peak and the Eblen Hills from a ridge that extends from the Michigan Plateau in a northeasterly direction.

The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Stephan E. Pastor, who was one of the teams at McMurdo Station (1956 and 1964) and on Byrd Station (1960).
