The Bermel Peninsula is a rugged, mountainous peninsula, approximately 15 mi (24 km) long and 7 mi (11 km) wide, located at between Solberg Inlet and Mobiloil Inlet on the Bowman Coast, Graham Land, Antarctica. The feature rises to 1,670 m (5479 ft) in Bowditch Crests and includes Yule Peak, Mount Wilson, Campbell Crest, Vesconte Point, Wilson Pass, Rock Pile Peaks, Miyoda Cliff, and Rock Pile Point.

for the peninsula in 1947, but the decision was subsequently vacated. Although Rock Pile Peaks was approved for eastern summits and Rock Pile Point for the east extremity, the peninsula remained unnamed for about four decades. However, reference to a geographic feature of this magnitude is needed, and in 1993 the UK-APC recommended the peninsula be named after Peter F. Bermel, Member, U.S. Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, 1979-94 (Chairman, 1993–94).
