Mount Parker is a 1260 m high and cliff-like mountain on the Pennell coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Admiralty Mountains, it rises on the western flank of the Nash Glacier a few kilometers before its confluence with the Somow Sea .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. In 1950, the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the naming of a geographically unassignable mountain in this area made by the British polar explorer James Clark Ross in 1840 on the mountain described here. It is named after Sir William Parker, 1st Baronet (1781–1866), from 1834 to 1841 Senior Naval Lord of the British Admiralty .
