Wakefield Highland () is a snow-covered highland in central Antarctic Peninsula, bounded to the north by Hermes Glacier and the heads of Weyerhaeuser and Aphrodite Glaciers, to the west by the heads of Airy, Rotz and Seller Glaciers, to the south by Fleming Glacier and to the east by the heads of Lurabee, Sunfix and Grimley Glaciers. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) on December 22, 1947. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in November 1960. Named after Viscount Wakefield of Hythe, a contributor to British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934-37. This toponym, concurred in by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) and Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN), restores the name Wakefield in the vicinity of the BGLE's displaced "Mount Wakefield" (now Mount Hope).
