Karia Peak (Bulgarian: връх Кария, romanized: vrah Kariya, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈkarijɐ]) is the rounded ice-covered peak rising to 1637 m[1] in the west foothills of Bruce Plateau on Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free west and south slopes, and surmounts Erskine Glacier to the south and a tributary to that glacier to the west and north.

The peak is named after the ancient town of Karia in Northeastern Bulgaria.
