Mount Noel is a large, ice-covered and around 1,600 m high mountain in the Traverse Mountains on the Rymill Coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is separated from McHugo Peak in the north and Mount Allan in the south by wide fields of snow .

The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named him in 1977 after John Fraser Noel (1942-1966), who worked as a vehicle mechanic for the British Antarctic Survey between 1965 and 1966 on Stonington Island and on a sled excursion in May 1966 with the radio operator Thomas John Allan (1940–1966) was killed at Tragic Corner on the Fallières coast .
