Mount Marquis (72°29′S 62°30′W / 72.483°S 62.500°W / -72.483; -62.500) is a mountain in the southern part of the Du Toit Mountains, situated 4 nautical miles (7 km) north of Maury Glacier, 28 nautical miles (52 km) south-southwest of Dietz Bluff and 27 nautical miles (50 km) due west of the north end of Pullen Island, on the Black Coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1966–69, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Peter T.
