Isachsenfjella is a 3425 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the Sør Rondane mountains, it rises 6 km southeast of Bergersenfjella .

Norwegian cartographers, who also gave this mountain its name, mapped it in 1957 using aerial photographs taken during the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). It is named after the Norwegian polar explorer Gunnerius Ingvald Isachsen (1868–1939), head of the fourth Antarctic expedition with the Norvegia (1930–1931), financed by the Norwegian whaling entrepreneur Lars Christensen .
