Pasteur Peninsula is a broad peninsula 9 km (5.6 mi) long in a north-south direction and ranging from 8–13 km (5.0–8.1 mi) wide between Guyou Bay and Bouquet Bay, forming the north end of Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. Its interior is occupied by the northern part of Stribog Mountains drained by Oshane, Podayva, Burevestnik and Lister Glaciers.

The peninsula was mapped by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by its leader Jean-Baptiste Charcot in honour of Louis Pasteur.
