Mount Chadwick (72°30′S 160°26′E / 72.500°S 160.433°E) is a small, bare rock mountain, 2,440 metres (8,000 ft) high, situated 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) east-southeast of Mount Walton in the Outback Nunataks, Victoria Land, Antarctica. The topographical feature was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Dan M.
