Noville Peninsula (71°50′S 98°46′W / 71.833°S 98.767°W / -71.833; -98.767) is a high ice-covered peninsula about 30 nautical miles (56 km; 35 mi) long, between Peale Inlet and Murphy Inlet on the north side of Thurston Island, Antarctica.

The Noville Peninsula extends north from the center of the north shore of Thurston Island. Glacier Bight is to its west, and Porters Pinnacles are just offshore to the north. Peale Inlet defines its west side and Murphy Inlet defines its east side. Mount Hawthorne in the Walker Mountains defines the south end of the peninsula.

Noville Peninsula was delineated from aerial photographs made by United States Navy Operation Highjump in December 1946. It was named for George Otto Noville, executive officer of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35.
