Mount Edred is the southernmost mountain of the Douglas Range in the north-east of Alexander Island in the British Antarctic Territory. It rises to 7,200 feet.
At the south end of Douglas Range, the mountain was photographed from the air and roughly surveyed by the British Graham Land Expedition in October 1936. It was re-surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Stonington Island in 1949.
The mountain is named after King Edred, King of the English 946-55; it is one of a series of mountains in the range named after kings of the House of Wessex.
