Mount Tilley is a flat-topped, ice-covered mountain in eastern Alexander Island, Antarctica. It rises to about 1,900 meters and is roughly 7 nautical miles (13 km) south of Mount Tyrrell and 3 nautical miles (6 km) inland from George VI Sound. Although tall, it is best seen as a foothill of the Douglas Range, separated from it by Toynbee Glacier. The mountain was first photographed from the air in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition. It was surveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and named after Cecil E. Tilley, a professor of mineralogy and petrology at Cambridge University.
