Mount Parker is a bluff-type mountain along the western side of Nash Glacier in Victoria Land, Antarctica. The area was mapped by the USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-63. The name Mount Parker was given to a mountain in this general vicinity by Captain James Ross, in 1840, honoring Vice Admiral Sir William Parker, a senior naval lord of the Admiralty, 1834-41. For the sake of historical continuity US-ACAN has retained the name for this mountain.
