Krasheninnikov Peak is a 2,525-meter-high mountain in Antarctica. It lies on the south side of the Svarthausane Crags in the Südliche Petermann Range of the Wohlthat Mountains. It was first discovered and plotted from air photos by Germany's 1938–39 Antarctic Expedition. It was later mapped from air photos and surveys by Norway's 1956–60 Antarctic Expedition, and remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1960–61, which named it after Russian geographer S. P. Krasheninnikov.
