Mount Warden is a 2860 m high and snow-covered mountain in the west Antarctic Marie-Byrd-Land . In the Queen Maud Mountains, it rises immediately southeast of the Hunt Spur from a cliff on the northwestern front of the Watson Escarpment .
The United States Geological Survey 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 1967 after Lieutenant George W. Warden (1913-2003), a Navy pilot on flights over the Queen Maud Mountains during Operation Highjump (1946–1947).
