Barff Peninsula (54°19′S 36°18′W / 54.317°S 36.300°W / -54.317; -36.300) is a peninsula forming the east margin of Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia, extending northwest from Sörling Valley 8 miles (13 km) to Barff Point. It was probably first seen by the British expedition under James Cook in 1775. The peninsula takes its name from its northern extremity, Barff Point. It contains the O'connor Peak.
