Mons Hansteen is a mountain on the Moon, also known as Hansteen Alpha (α), named after Christopher Hansteen. It is roughly triangular in shape and occupies an area about 30 km across on Oceanus Procellarum. This feature is younger than Hansteen (crater) and is thought to be an extrusion of volcanic material.
