Duffy’s Peak is a small hill or butte near the Salt Fork Brazos River in Garza County, Texas. Duffy’s Peak extends less than 50 ft (15 m) above the river, yet despite its small size, it served as an important landmark for early surveyors of the region and is said to be named for a member of the original survey team who died and was buried nearby in the late 1870s.

Duffy’s Peak stands out as a small but relatively prominent landmark that can be seen from a significant distance. In 1969, the Texas Historical Commission erected a historical marker for Duffy’s Peak along Texas State Highway 207.
