The Smithies Peak, sometimes incorrectly called Smithies Towers, is a mountain in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. The mountain is situated in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.

At 1527 m above sea level, it is the ninth-highest mountain in Tasmania, and is one of the summits of Cradle Mountain. The peak is composed of dolerite columns, similar to many of the other mountains in the area and rises above the glacially formed Dove Lake (934 m), Lake Wilks and Crater Lake.

Cradle Mountain has four named summits. In order of height they are Cradle Mountain (1545 m); Smithies Peak; Weindorfers Tower (1459 m); and Little Horn (1355 m).
