Ilinden Peak (Bulgarian: връх Илинден, romanized: vrah Ilinden, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈilindɛn]) is an ice-covered peak rising to 620 m in Breznik Heights on Greenwich Island, Antarctica. The peak has precipitous and partly ice-free south slopes, and surmounts Zheravna Glacier to the south, Solis Glacier to the northwest, and Fuerza Aérea Glacier to the north-northeast.

The feature is "named after the settlement of Ilinden in Southwestern Bulgaria, in connection with the 1903 Bulgarian uprising of Ilinden-Preobrazhenie for the liberation of Macedonia and Odrin (Adrianople) Thrace".[1]
