Mount Kennett is a 1360 m high, rocky and snow-covered mountain in eastern Grahamland on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Foyn coast, it looms between the Quartermain glacier and the Fricker glacier .
This stretch of coast was the object of aerial photography during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939-1941), during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) and by the United States Navy in 1968. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped the Berg between 1947 and 1948. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named him in 1974 after Peter Kennett (* 1939), assistant to the British Antarctic Survey during the exploration of the Larsen Ice Shelf from 1963 to 1964.
