Mount Kelly (70°47′S 164°19′E / 70.783°S 164.317°E / -70.783; 164.317) is a prominent peak, (1,110 m), located 3 nautical miles (6 km) northwest of Mount Burch in the western portion of the Anare Mountains, a major mountain range situated in Victoria Land, Antarctica. The topographical feature was so named by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) for Second Lieutenant R.M.

The mountain lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
