Mount Brecher is a 2100 m high and rugged mountain in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . It rises in the northern Wisconsin Range of the Horlick Mountains immediately west of Mount LeSchack .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and with the help of aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1959 and 1960. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1962 after the German-born glaciologist Henry H. Brecher (* 1932), who was responsible for the winter occupation of the Byrd Station in 1960 and returned to Antarctica for several years to do research.
