Dimitrova Peak (Bulgarian: връх Димитрова, romanizedvrah Dimitrova, IPA: [ˈvrɤɣ dimiˈtrɔvɐ]) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 1903 m[1] in eastern Havre Mountains, northern Alexander Island in Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest slopes, and surmounts Russian Gap to the northeast and Foreman Glacier to the south. The vicinity was visited on 8 January 1988 by the geological survey team of Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov (First Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition), and Philip Nell and Peter Marquis (British Antarctic Survey).

The feature is named after the Bulgarian opera singer Ghena Dimitrova (1941-2005).
