Mount Gilbert (69°16′S 66°17′W / 69.267°S 66.283°W / -69.267; -66.283) is a mountain (1,420 m) on the divide between Airy Glacier and Seller Glacier, 8 km (5.0 mi) northwest of Mount Castro, in the west-central Antarctic Peninsula.

Photographed from the air by British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) in February 1937, and Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) in November 1947. Surveyed from the ground by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in December 1958. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for William Gilbert (1540–1603), English physician whose pioneer work De magnete, magneticisque corporibus . . . (1600) laid the foundations for an understanding of earth magnetism and the variation of the compass.
