Mount Tedrow is a 1490 m high mountain in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Elizabeth Range of the Transantarctic Mountains, it rises on the eastern flank of the mouth of the DeBreuck Glacier in the Kent Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own tellurometer measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after Jack V.
