The Explorer Seamount is a seamount located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. It is on the Explorer Ridge, a tectonic spreading centre that separates the Pacific and Explorer plates and so the volcanism is rift-related. It is the namesake of the Explorer Ridge.

Explorer Seamount is named after the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey ship {{ship|USC&GS|Explorer|OSS 28}}, which operated from 1940 to 1943 in the northern Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Alaska.[http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/history.htm National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency - Undersea Features History] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130217003738/http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/history.htm |date=2013-02-17 }}
