Kuno Peak is a mountain peak in the Spectrum Range at the southern end of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is south of Yagi Ridge, west of Yeda Peak, southeast of Outcast Hill, east of Exile Hill, northeast of Tadekho Hill and north of Little Arctic Lake, the latter four of which are on the northern end of the Arctic Lake Plateau. It has an elevation of 2,183 metres (7,162 feet) and lies at the southwestern end of the Spectrum Range. Tadekho Creek originates from the southern flank of the ridge connecting Kuno Peak with Yeda Peak.
Kuno Peak is at the south end of Mount Edziza Provincial Park which is southeast of the community of Telegraph Creek. It is named after Hisashi Kuno, a Japanese volcanologist and teacher who visited the area with Canadian volcanologist Jack Souther in 1966. The name of the peak became official on January 2, 1980, after being submitted to the BC Geographical Names office by the Geological Survey of Canada.
