The Scudder Peak is a small, 2271 m high and rocky mountain peak in the massif of the Toney Mountain in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . It rises immediately southwest of the Spitz Ridge on the south side of the massif.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Brent E. Scudder, a meteorologist at Byrd Station in 1966.
