Mount Dobrynin ( Russian Гора Добрынина Gora Dobrynina ) is a 1970 m high mountain in the Antarctic Queen Maud Land . On the east side of the Alexander von Humboldt Mountains in the Wohlthat massif, it rises 1.5 km east-southeast of the Eidsgavlen .

The mountain was discovered and roughly mapped using aerial photographs during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Further mappings followed on the basis of measurements and aerial photographs during the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960) and by participants in a Soviet Antarctic expedition (1960–1961). The latter named the mountain after the Soviet geographer Boris Fedorowitsch Dobrynin (1885–1951). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the Russian designation into English in 1970.
