Mount Ferrara is a mountain rising to 2,887 feet in the Panzarini Hills, part of the Argentina Range of the Pensacola Mountains in Queen Elizabeth Land in the British Antarctic Territory. It stands 2½ nautical miles north-east of Vaca Nunatak
The mountain was photographed from the air during a the United States Navy non-stop flight by a P2V-2N Neptune aircraft from McMurdo Sound, Ross Dependency, to the Weddell Sea and back, 13 January 1956, and named after CPO Frederick J. Ferrara, the United States Navy, crew chief on that flight, in association with the names of other crew members in this area. The feature was surveyed from the ground on US Pensacola Mountain Project, 1965-66.
