Spartacus Peak (Vrah Spartak \'vr&h spar-'tak\) is a 650m peak in Delchev Ridge, Tangra Mountains, eastern Livingston Island, Antarctica. The peak overlooks Sopot Ice Piedmont to the N and Strandzha Glacier to the E and SE.

The peak was named after the Thracian warrior Spartacus (c. 109-71 BC) whose likely birthplace was in the Sandanski region, in south-west Bulgaria.
