Lady Peak is a mountain located just southeast of Cheam Peak in the Cheam Range near Chilliwack, British Columbia. It is west of the four peaks in the eastern portion of the range known as the Lucky Four Group, consisting of Knight, Foley, Stewart and Welch peaks.
According to the Canadian Mountain Encyclopedia "From the Chilliwack area, according to Sto:lo Nation culture, Lady Peak looks like the head of a dog. This dog is the companion of the Old Woman, Cheam".
Lady Peak can be summited by a route that branches off the Cheam Peak Trail.
The peak was named by Arthur S. Williamson, superintendent of the nearby Lucky Four Mine, to honor Phyllis Munday, the well-known Canadian mountaineer. Williamson also named nearby Baby Munday Peak in honor of her daughter, Edith. Both toponyms were officially adopted in 1946 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
