Mount Anderson is a high mountain in the northern part of the Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica.[3] Probuda Ridge is trending northeast of the peak, and Embree Glacier and Ellen Glacier's tributary Fonfon Glacier drain its northeastern and eastern slopes respectively. It is part of the same massif as Mount Bentley and Mount Sisu.

The mountain was discovered by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party, 1957–58, under Charles R. Bentley, and named for Vernon H. Anderson, glaciologist at Byrd Station, 1957, a member of the party.[2]
