Bowles West Peak (Bulgarian: връх западен Боулс, romanized: vrah zapaden Bouls, IPA: [ˈvrɤɣ ˈzapɐdɛn ˈbɔuɫs]) is a peak rising to 678 m at the western extremity of Bowles Ridge in eastern Livingston Island in Antarctica. The peak has precipitous and partly ice free western slopes and overlooks Perunika Glacier to the southwest.

The feature takes its name from Mount Bowles, the summit of the eponymous ridge.
