The Samuel Peak is an approximately 600  m high mountain on the Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In Vidin Heights, it rises west of Edinburgh Hill in the northeastern part of the island.

The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1958 after the US sealer Samuel from Nantucket under Captain Robert Inott (1764-1825), who operated between 1820 and 1821 in the waters around the South Shetland Islands.
