Die Cagle Peaks sind eine Gruppe spitzer Gipfel am westlichen Rand der westantarktischen Heritage Range. Die Gipfel überragen das südliche Ende der Geländestufe White Escarpment.[1]

Ihren Namen erhielten die Cagle Peaks von einer geologischen Expedition der University of Minnesota, die dieses Gebiet im antarktischen Sommer 1963/64 erkundete. Man benannte sie nach Major Paul M. Cagle, dem kommandierenden Offizier und Piloten der Hubschrauber-Einheit, von der die Expedition vor Ort unterstützt wurde.[1]
