Versinikia Peak (Bulgarian: връх Версиникия, romanized: vrah Versinikiya, IPA: [ˈvrɤɣ vɛrsiˈnikijɐ]) is the sharp peak in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica rising to 2900 m on the side ridge that trends 8.8 km from the south rib of Mount Giovinetto on the main crest of north-central Sentinel Range northeastwards via Evans Peak to Debren Pass. It has partly ice-free west and southeast slopes, and surmounts Patton Glacier to the southeast and the head of Rumyana Glacier to the northwest.

The peak is named after the medieval fortress of Versinikia in Southeastern Bulgaria.
