Shoemaker Peak is a peak on the east side of Ahrnsbrak Glacier, 3 miles (4.8 km) east-southeast of Sutton Peak in the Enterprise Hills, Heritage Range, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1961-66. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Dawaine A. Shoemaker, a meteorologist at Little America V Station in 1958.
