Mount Vernon Harcourt, also unofficially known as Mount Harcourt, is a conical stratovolcano, that rises over 1,535 meters, making up part of the Hallett Peninsula extending into the Ross Sea about {{convert|375|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} south of Mount Erebus, along with three overlapping shield volcanoes. The mountain was discovered in January 1841 by Sir James Clark Ross and named by him for the Reverend William Vernon Harcourt, one of the founders of the British Association.{{citation|publisher=New Zealand Gazetteer|title=Mount Vernon Harcourt|url=https://gazetteer.linz.govt.nz/place/13084|accessdate=2019-04-02}}
