Mount Maines is a 2190 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Enderbyland . In the Napier Mountains it rises 13 km southeast of Stor Hånakken .

Norwegian cartographers, who named it Stornuten (Norwegian for Great Summit ), mapped it using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 . Australian cartographers refined this mapping using aerial photographs taken by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named it after Ronald L. Maines, a cook at Wilkes Station in 1961.
