The Kinnear Mountains are a small group of over 875 m high mountains on the Fallières coast in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They tower west of the Prospect Glacier on the southern edge of the Wordie Ice Shelf .

Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill discovered them in 1936 and roughly mapped them. They are named after the British ornithologist Norman Boyd Kinnear (1882–1957), who assisted the expedition as an employee of the Natural History Museum at the British Museum .
