Mount Cummings is a 1000 m high mountain on the Lassiter coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . At the northeast head end of New Bedford Inlet, it rises at the eastern end of Galan Ridge in the Dana Mountains .

Scientists from the US Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) and the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it together between 1947 and 1948. The United States Geological Survey mapped it in more detail based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from the years 1961 to 1967. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountain in 1968 after Jack W. Cummings, who was a radio operator on Palmer Station in 1965.
