Mount Grimminger is a 1680 m high mountain on the Lassiter coast of the Palmerland in the south of the Antarctic Peninsula . In the Dana Mountains it rises on the northern flank of the Meinardus Glacier immediately east of the confluence of the Haines Glacier .

Scientists from the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) discovered and photographed it during an overflight in December 1940. Additional aerial photographs were taken by the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948), whose participants worked in collaboration with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) carried out measurements on site. The FIDS named it after the American meteorologist George Grimminger (1907–1973), who as a participant in the second Antarctic expedition (1933–1935) of the US polar explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd wrote the meteorological reports of this research trip and Byrd's first Antarctic expedition (1928–1930 ) had published.
