Annexstad Peak is a partially ice-free peak, 2,610 metres (8,560 ft) high, on the west side of the crater rim of Mount Cumming, in the Executive Committee Range, Marie Byrd Land.
It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy trimetrogon photography, 1958–60, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John O.
