Cape Fiske (74°21′S 60°27′W) is a cape which forms the east tip of Smith Peninsula, on the east coast of Palmer Land. This cape was photographed from the air by members of the US Antarctic Service (USAS) in December 1940, and in 1947 by members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) under Ronne, who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground.

It was named by Ronne for C.O. Fiske, a climatologist with the Ronne expedition.
