Mount Phelan is a 2000 m high and largely ice-free mountain in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Usarp Mountains it rises 8 km southeast of the Killer Nunatak in the southern part of the Emlen Peaks .

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after Michael J. Phelan, geomagnetologist and seismologist on the Amundsen-Scott -South Pole Station , which between 1963 and 1964 also took part in the exploratory march through the Marie-Byrd-Land .
