Mount Ahab is a mountain of 3,035 feet on the Oscar II Coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory, between Melville Glacier and Mapple Glacier.
The mountain was roughly surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in November 1947, and resurveyed in October 1955 and August 1962. It received its name after Captain Ahab of the Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby Dick, in association with names in this area from that work. (The name was originally applied in error to a feature between Melville Glacier and Pequod Glacier.)
