Mount Hussey is a 2790 m high mountain rising from a rock spur on the Gruendler Glacier in the Victory Mountains of the East Antarctic Victoria Land.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using geodetic surveys and aerial photographs by the United States Navy between 1960 and 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Keith Morgan Hussey (1908-1997), geologist at McMurdo Station from 1966 until 1967.
