Mount Weininger is a 1970 m high and mostly ice-free mountain in the West Antarctic Queen Elizabeth Land . In the Patuxent Range of the Pensacola Mountains it rises on the northern foothills of the Mackin Table , to which it is connected by a short ridge.
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after the US ionospheric physicist Richard B. Weininger, scientific director of Amundsen-Scott -South Pole Station in the Antarctic winter of 1967.
