Radichkov Peak (Bulgarian: Радичков връх, romanized: Radichkov vrah, IPA: [rɐˈdit͡ʃkov ˈvrɤx]) rises to 500 m in Levski Ridge, Tangra Mountains, eastern Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The peak overlooks Srebarna Glacier to the southwest and Magura Glacier to the northeast and has steep and ice-free eastern slopes. An offshoot extending 900 m in south direction ends up in Kalofer Peak, forming M'Kean Point to the southeast.

The peak is named after the Bulgarian writer Yordan Radichkov (1929–2004).
