Hoskins Peak (67°46′S 67°36′W / 67.767°S 67.600°W / -67.767; -67.600) is a peak 3 nautical miles (6 km) west of Contact Peak in southern Pourquoi Pas Island, Graham Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys, 1956–59, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Arthur K.
