The Neny-Matterhorn is a 1125 m high, pointed and pyramid-shaped mountain on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises in the northwestern part of the Blackwall Mountains on the south bank of the Neny Fjord .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1936–1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill, carried out the first surveys between 1936 and 1937. Further measurements were carried out by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey between 1948 and 1949. His name appears for the first time in connection with the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) and derives from the neighboring Neny Fjord and its similarity to the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps.
