Mount Albright is a mountain that towers above the southern end of the Endurance Cliffs in the Geologists Range in the Transantarctic Mountains .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of measurements with a tellurometer and using aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1960 and 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it after the American geologist John Carter Albright (* 1941), who in the frame of the United States Antarctic Research Program from 1964 to 1965 was involved in an exploration of the area from the South Pole to Queen Maud Land .
