Mount Huckle is an approximately 2500 m high and mainly icy mountain in the east of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . Near the northern end of the Douglas Range, it rises 11 km south-southeast of Mount Spivey on the western flank of the Toynbee Glacier .

The first sighting is probably 1909 on participants of the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910) under the direction of the polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot . Aerial photos were taken during the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) carried out measurements and naming in 1948. It is named after John Sydney Rodney Huckle (1924–2014), who was involved in the FIDS surveying work on the west bank of George VI Sound in 1949 .
