Mount Braun is a mountain rising to about 900 metres (3,000 ft) in the northwest extremity of Sofia Mountains in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The feature forms the northeast part of a horseshoe-shaped ridge 3.5 nautical miles (6.5 km; 4.0 mi) east-southeast of Mount Holt. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander William K.
