Lyaskovets Peak (Vrah Lyaskovets \'vr&h 'lyas-ko-vets\) is the easternmost peak of Friesland Ridge in the Tangra Mountains, eastern Livingston Island and has an elevation 1,473 m. The first ascent was on 14 December 2004 by the Tangra 2004/05 Survey team (Lyubomir Ivanov and Doychin Vasilev) from Camp Academia and Catalunyan Saddle.
The peak is bounded by Catalunyan Saddle to the west and Shipka Saddle to the east and is heavily glaciated and crevassed, with precipitous western, southern and eastern slopes. The peak surmounts Huron Glacier to the northwest and northeast, and Macy Glacier and Brunow Bay area to the south. Its northern offshoot forms Zograf Peak, and is linked to Lozen Nunatak, Erma Knoll and Aheloy Nunatak in Huron Glacier.
Lyaskovets is a town in central northern Bulgaria.
