Buache Peak (Bulgarian: връх Бюаш, romanized: vrah Byuash, IPA: [ˈvrɤɣ bʲuˈaʃ]) is the mostly ice-covered peak rising to 595 m[1] on Two Hummock Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It surmounts Urania Cove on the north. The feature has precipitous and partly ice-free west-northwest slopes, and is one of the two ‘hummocks’ that gave the name of the island.

The peak is named after the French cartographer Philippe Buache (1700–1773), who published maps of the south polar region in 1739 and 1754.
