Needle Peak is a sharply-pointed black peak, 370 m, standing at the west side of Brunow Bay on the south coast of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands. It is situated in the southeast foothills of Friesland Ridge, Tangra Mountains on Rozhen Peninsula, 1 km south-southeast of Ludogorie Peak, and surmounts Prespa Glacier on the west, Brunow Bay on the northeast, Opitsvet Lake on the east and Samuel Point on the east by south.

The feature was named ‘Barnards Peak’ on James Weddell's chart published in 1825, but the name ‘Needle Peak’, given by Discovery Investigations personnel following a 1935 survey, has succeeded it in usage. The name Barnard Point has been approved for the nearby point at the southeast side of False Bay.^[1]
