Mount Handsley (77°56′11″S 161°36′11″E) is a subsidiary rock peak on the Knobhead massif in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It rises 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) south-southeast of Knobhead and overlooks the upper part of Ferrar Glacier from the northwest. It was named in 1969 by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Jesse Handsley, a member of the Discovery crew of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's expedition, who accompanied Scott, Evans, Feather, Skelton and Lashly on the major sledging journey up the Ferrar and Taylor Glaciers in 1903.
