The Sullivan Peaks are two pointed mountain peaks over 1,400 m high in Queen Elizabeth Land in West Antarctica . In the Patuxent Range of the Pensacola Mountains, they rise from a rock spur of Pierce Peak on the north side of Mackin Table .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them based on the United States Navy's own surveys and aerial photographs from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1968 after Lieutenant Ronald C. Sullivan of the US Navy, senior officer on the Amundsen- Scott South Pole Station in the Antarctic winter of 1967.
