The Mount Menzies is a mountain in the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . At 3,355 m, it rises in the Prince Charles Mountains from the Drakon massif between Mount Mather and Mount Bayliss on the south side of the Fisher Glacier .
The mountain was discovered in 1956 by flight officer John Seaton of the Royal Australian Air Force during a flight by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). The seismological team under the direction of Keith Benson Mather (1922-2003) mapped the mountain during the ANARE, which lasted from 1957 to 1958. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named the mountain after the two-time Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies (1894–1978).
