The Slessor Peak is a 2,370 m high and mostly ice-free mountain near the Loubet coast of the West Antarctic Graham Lands . It rises at the southwest end of the Bruce Plateau immediately northwest of the Gould Glacier . It towers over the ice sheet of the plateau by about 300 m and has a steep rock face on its north side.
The Falkland Islands and Dependencies Survey surveyed the mountain between 1946 and 1947. It is named after the British doctor Robert Stewart Slessor (1912–1985), who led the sled team for this surveying work.
