Chumash Peak (elevation 1,257 ft) is a peak in San Luis Obispo, California. The peak is the sixth in a series of volcanic plugs called the Nine Sisters. The hill was named in 1964 by Louisiana Dart, curator of the San Luis Obispo County Museum. It was named in honor of the Chumash Indians who lived in the area.
