Mount McCarthy is the easternmost peak, 1,860 metres (6,100 ft) high, of the Porthos Range in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. It was first visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions southern party led by W.G. Bewsher in December 1956, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for James W. McCarthy, senior meteorologist and second in charge at Mawson Station in 1956.
