Mount Huckaby is an ice-free, wedge-shaped and 2,620 m high mountain in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . In the western Wisconsin Range of the Horlick Mountains, it towers east of the Haworth Mesa over the east face of the Olentangy Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped the mountain using its own surveys and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Donnie W. Huckaby (1919-2005), maintenance officer of the flight squadron VX-6 on McMurdo Station from 1962 to 1963 and from 1963 to 1964.
