Charpentier Pyramid ({{Coord|80|16|S|25|37|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a pyramid-shaped peak rising to {{convert|1,080|m}} in the northwest part of the Herbert Mountains, Shackleton Range. In association with the names of glacial geologists grouped in this area, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 after Jean de Charpentier, a Swiss engineer and mineralogist who in 1835 gave additional proof on the former extension of glaciers.
