Mount Kirkby is a very large, prominent, linear, flat-topped mountain on the northern face of the Porthos Range in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. Situated about 3 mi E of Crohn Massif, it is approximately 9 km long east-west and 4 km wide at the western end, tapering to the east. It rises to 2,438 m (460 m above the plateau). First visited by the ANARE southern party led by William G. Bewsher in December 1956. Named by ANCA for Sydney L. Kirkby, surveyor at Mawson Station in 1956 and 1960.
