Mount Perseus is a hill on Candlemas Island, one of the South Sandwich Islands. It stands at 1,493 feet; it is the lower and more northerly of twin ice domes in the east part of the island, the other being Mount Andromeda.
The hill was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1971 in association with nearby Mount Andromeda. In Greek mythology, Perseus married Andromeda after rescuing her from a sea monster.
