Mount Brecher (85°24′S 124°22′W / 85.400°S 124.367°W / -85.400; -124.367) is a jagged rock mountain, 2,100 metres (6,900 ft) high, standing immediately west of Mount LeSchack in the northern Wisconsin Range, Horlick Mountains. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–60, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Henry H. Brecher, a member of the Byrd Station winter party, 1960, who returned to Antarctica to do glaciological work in several succeeding summer seasons.
