Mount Yesenin ( Russian Гора Есенина Gora Jessenina ) is a 2520 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the payer group of Hoelfjella it rises 3 km northwest of the Yeliseyev Rocks .

Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of measurements and other aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Participants in a Soviet Antarctic expedition (1960–1961) mapped it again and named it after the Russian poet Sergei Alexandrovich Jessenin (1895–1925). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the Russian name to English in 1970.
