Mount Klayn (English; Bulgarian връх Клайн wrach Klajn ) is a south-southwest-north-northeast orientation 2.8 km long, 0.9 km wide and 2400  m high mountain in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the northern Bastien Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, it rises 10.84 km northwest of Mount Fisek , 12.76 km northeast of Wild Knoll , 17.43 km southeast of Ereta Peak , 4.83 km south of Ichev Nunatak and 17.6 km west of Mount Atkinson . Its steep south-east slopes are partly not icy. The upper section of the Nimitz Glacier lies northeast of it.

American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after Laslo Klajn, geologist at the St. Kliment-Ohridski Station from 1999 and in subsequent campaigns.
