Mount Bearskin is a 2850 m high mountain in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises 8 km northeast of Mount Tyree between the Patton and Crosswell glaciers in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1957 and 1959. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it after Captain Leland Stanford Bearskin (1921-1993) of the United States Air Force , who was involved in the establishment the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958).
