Mount Meredith (71°12′S 67°45′E) is a fairly massive, almost flat-topped mountain standing 10 nautical miles (19 km) north of Fisher Massif in the Prince Charles Mountains of Antarctica. It was photographed from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956 and 1957, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Sergeant N. Meredith, RAAF, an engine fitter at Mawson Station in 1957.

In 2013, geologists found evidence of kimberlite on Mount Meredith, which may indicate the presence of diamonds that could be mined if Antarctica were opened up for mineral exploitation.
