Mount Dowling is a small mountain on Thurston Island off the Eights coast of West Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises 21 km east of Von der Wall Point on the south coast of the island.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Forrest L. Dowling (* 1934), geophysicist at the Byrd station between 1960 and 1961.
