Mount Huxley is a mountain in the West Coast Range, Tasmania, named by Charles Gould in 1863 after Professor Thomas Henry Huxley.
A smaller of the west coast range mountains, with a large 200 metre outcrop/rock face on its southern side above the King River gorge just west of the Crotty Dam - parts of which are visible along the river gorge from the West Coast Wilderness Railway where it commences following the King River.
A very rough track approaches the mountain from the north, and from the south Queenstown area. The southern side is sheer cliff into the King River Gorge.
