Mount Mills is a mountain on Antarctica, forming part of the northern escarpment of the Dominion Range, overlooking the Beardmore Glacier 13 km north of Mount Saunders. Mount Mills is the highest peak of the range.
The mountain was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09) under Shackleton, and named for Sir James Mills who, with the government of New Zealand, paid the cost of towing the expedition ship Nimrod to Antarctica in 1908.
