Location of Loubet Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Armula Peak (Bulgarian: връх Армула, romanized: vrah Armula, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ɐrˈmuɫɐ]) is the ice-covered peak rising to 1142 m[1] in the west foothills of Hemimont Plateau, Loubet Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica. The feature has steep and partly ice-free south slopes, and surmounts Klebelsberg Glacier to the south, and Finsterwalder Glacier to the north and northwest.

The peak is named after the ancient Thracian settlement of Armula in Western Bulgaria.
