Mount Cecily is a prominent 2870  m high mountain in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It rises 4 km northwest of Mount Raymond in the Grosvenor Mountains of the Transantarctic Mountains .

The Mill Glacier separates the mountain from the Dominion Range , where its discoverers, participants in the Nimrod Expedition (1907–1909) led by the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton , erroneously located it in early maps. It is named after Cecily Shackleton (1906–1957), Ernest Shackleton's only daughter.
