Mount Keinath is a 1090 m high mountain on the Scott coast of East Antarctica Victoria Land . In the Deep Freeze Range it rises on the eastern flank of the mouth of the Boomerang Glacier immediately west of the confluence of the Bates Glacier in the Browning Pass .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1955 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Gerald E. Keinath (1924-2003), administrator of the biological laboratory on the McMurdo Station from 1965 to 1966.
