Mount Burnham is a striking 2810 m high mountain in the shape of a cliff in East Antarctica Victoria Land . It rises along the west face of the Daniels Range about 10 km south of Big Brother Bluff in the Usarp Mountains .

It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey and aerial photographs by the United States Navy between 1960 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after James B. Burnham, ionospheric physicist at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in the winter season the years 1958 and 1961. There is a risk of confusion with the mountain of the same name in the Antarctic Marie Byrd Land .
