Kubrick Mons is the largest of a series of mountain peaks on Pluto's moon Charon that rise out of depressions in the ground in the Vulcan Planum plain. Kubrik Mons has a diameter between 20–25 kilometres (12–16 mi) and 3–4 kilometres (1.9–2.5 mi) in height. It is currently not known how Kubrik Mons formed, however there is speculation that Kubrik Mons may be a cryovolcano and the depression may be the result of a shrinking chamber of water and ammonia, this however remains to be proven.

The mountain was named after film director Stanley Kubrick.
