Mount McKenny is a 1,890  m high mountain in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Usarp Mountains it rises 6 km southeast of Mount Toogood at the southern end of the Daniels Range .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own surveys and with the help of aerial photographs of the United States Navy from the years between 1960 and 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after Clarence Daniel McKenny (* 1915), who was part of the United States Antarctic Research Program worked as a meteorologist in 1959 and 1961 at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and in 1963 at the Eights Station .
