The Smolenskaya Mountain ( Russian Гора Смоленская Gora Smolenskaja ) is a 2890 m high mountain in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . In the southern Petermann chain of the Wohlthat massif, it rises 4 km east-southeast of Mount Neustruyev .

The mountain was discovered and first mapped during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers carried out a new mapping based on aerial photographs and measurements made by the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). Participants in a Soviet Antarctic expedition (1960–1961) named him after the Russian city of Smolensk . The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the name in 1970 in a partial translation into English.
