The Mount Aubert de la Rue is an ice-free, 125 m (after the Australian information 120 m ) high hill on the island Heard in Australian external territory Heard and McDonald Islands in the Indian Ocean . It rises from the low-lying Fidelia Isthmus that connects the Laurens Peninsula with the main land mass of Heard.
The French geologist Edgar Aubert de la Rüe (1901-1991) mapped it in January 1929 and named it after himself. In 1948, participants of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions carried out a survey.
