Mount Beowulf (77°38′S 161°48′E) is a peak rising to about 2,100 metres (6,900 ft) at the southeast side of Mime Glacier in the Asgard Range, Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1962 from U.S. Navy aerial photographs taken between 1947 and 1959. It was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) in 1983 for Beowulf, the hero of the Old English epic poem.
