Hughes Peninsula (71°54′S 100°17′W / 71.900°S 100.283°W) is an ice-covered peninsula about 18 nautical miles (33 km) long, lying west of Henry Inlet on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica. At the northeast end of the peninsula is ice-covered Cape Davies. These features were plotted from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946 and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names. The peninsula was named for , a photographer's mate with the U.S. Navy in February 1960, who took aerial photographs of Thurston Island from helicopters.

| dbo:abstract | Die Hughes-Halbinsel ist eine 29 km lange und vereiste Halbinsel an der Nordküste der Thurston-Insel vor der Eights-Küste des westantarktischen Ellsworthlands. Sie liegt östlich des Henry Inlet und endet am Kap Davies. Eine erste Kartierung erfolgte anhand von Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy vom Dezember 1946 im Zuge der Operation Highjump (1946–1947). Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte die Halbinsel 1960 nach Jerry Hughes, der im Zuge der Expedition der United States Navy in die Bellingshausen-See im selben Jahr Luftaufnahmen von der Thurston-Insel aus dem Hubschrauber angefertigt hatte.
