Mount Levack (78°18′S 85°05′W / 78.300°S 85.083°W / -78.300; -85.083) is the mountain rising to 2751 m in Sullivan Heights on the east side of Sentinel Range, Antarctica. It is located 21 km (13 mi) east of Mount Ostenso, and overlooks Pulpudeva Glacier to the southwest and lower Ellen Glacier to the north. Its ridge is separated from Mount Farrell to the south by Zmeevo Pass and overlooks Strinava Glacier to the east-southeast.

The peak was first mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1957–59. Named by US-ACAN for Major Herbert T. Levack, United States Air Force (USAF), who participated in establishing the South Pole Station in the 1956–57 season.
