Aughenbaugh Peak is a sharp peak in Antarctica, rising to over 1,800 metres (5,900 ft). It stands 0.7 miles (1.1 km) northeast of Neuburg Peak in southwest Dufek Massif, Pensacola Mountains. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Nolan B. Aughenbaugh, a glaciologist at Ellsworth Station and a member of the first party to visit Dufek Massif in December 1957.
