Kondolov Peak (Bulgarian: Кондолов връх, ‘Kondolov Vrah’ \'Kon-do-lov 'vr&h\) is the mostly ice-covered peak of elevation 900 m in Solvay Mountains on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It has steep and partly ice-free southwest and northwest slopes, and surmounts Jenner Glacier to the southeast, Duperré Bay to the southwest and Dimkov Glacier to the west-northwest.

The peak is named after Georgi Kondolov (1858-1903), a leader of the Bulgarian liberation movement in Thrace and Macedonia.
