Mount Reeves is a 1920 m high mountain on the West Antarctic Adelaide Island . It rises immediately to the northeast of Mount Bouvier in the east of the island.
Participants in the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908–1910) under the direction of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot first roughly mapped it. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey repeated this in 1948 and made the designation. It is named after Edward Ayearst Reeves (1862–1945), who worked from 1900 to 1933 at the Royal Geographical Society as a curator for maps and an instructor for surveying .
