Mount Razumovskiy ( Russian Гора Разумовского Gora Rasumowskowo ) is a 2285 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the eastern Petermann chain of the Wohlthatmassiv it rises in the southern part of the Deildegasten .

It was discovered from the air and mapped using aerial photographs during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of aerial photographs and measurements of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Another mapping was carried out by scientists on a Soviet Antarctic expedition between 1960 and 1961. They named the mountain after the Soviet geologist Nikolai Konstatinowitsch Rasumowski (1893-1967). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the Russian name to English in 1970.
