Mount Duemler is a 2225  m high mountain near the Wilkins coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 18 km west of Mount Bailey southwest of the head end of the Anthony Glacier .

Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill, mapped it between 1936 and 1937. Aerial photographs were taken in 1940 during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) and in 1947 during the US Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948). Participants in the latter expedition mapped it in 1947 together with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . Expedition leader Finn Ronne named the mountain after the American entrepreneur Robert F.
