The Mount Bayliss is a relatively flat mountain in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It extends 10 km east of Mount Menzies in the Prince Charles Mountains in an east-west direction over a length of 14 km.
The mountain was discovered in 1957 during an overflight as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). A seismological team under the direction of Keith Benson Mather (1922-2003) mapped the mountain in the 1957-1958 ANARE. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named the mountain after Australian cartographer Edward Percival Bayliss, who published a map of Antarctica in 1939 for the Department of Property and Surveying at the Australian Department of the Interior .
