Mount Aorangi (72°25′S 166°22′E / 72.417°S 166.367°E / -72.417; 166.367) is the highest mountain, 3,135 m, in the Millen Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The mount was so named by the NZFMCAE, 1962–63, because of this mountain's cloud-piercing ability, and also with reference to Aoraki/Mount Cook, New Zealand, Aorangi or Aoraki meaning cloud piercer. The mountain lies on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.

Aorangi is also one of the most prominent peaks in the Raukumara Range, East Coast, New Zealand.
