Mount Rigby is a 950 m high mountain on the Amundsen coast in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . In the Karo Hills of the Queen Maud Mountains, it rises 3 km northwest of Mount Hastings immediately west of the mouth of the Scott Glacier in the Ross Ice Shelf .

The first sighting and a rough mapping goes back to participants in the American Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–1930). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the mountain in 1967 after the geologist John F. Rigby, who worked at McMurdo Station between 1965 and 1966 .
