The Corelli Horn is a 1000 m high mountain with a distinctive peak on the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . It rises 6 km west of the northern end of the LeMay Range .
Aerial photographs of the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) were used by the British geographer Derek Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960 for a first check. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain on March 2, 1961 after the Italian composer Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713).
