The Titania Peak is a rocky and 1250 m high mountain in the center of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . It rises about 18 km west-southwest of Mount Umbriel near the head end of the Uranus Glacier .
The British geographer Derek Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it in 1960 using aerial photographs taken by the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1961 based on the naming of the Uranus glacier after the Uranus moon Titania .
