Mount Chapman is a three-peaked mountain in Antarctica. It rises about 2,715 meters (8,907 feet) with very steep sides and a large rock cliff on its north face, at the western end of the Whitmore Mountains in Marie Byrd Land. The peak was named for William H. Chapman of the U.S. Geological Survey, a cartographer who helped survey the Whitmore Mountains in 1959 during the Horlick Mountains Traverse. Chapman spent several Antarctic summers on surveys, including work in the Pensacola Mountains (1957–58) and a major USGS Topo North-South survey of mountains along the west side of the Ross Sea and Ross Ice Shelf.
