Mount Bodys is the easternmost peak of Adelaide Island in the British Antarctic Territory.
The mountain rises to about 4,270 feet. It was roughly surveyed in January 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition of 1908-10 under Charcot. It was resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Stonington Island" in September 1948.
After the 1948 survey, the mountain was named after Sgt William Stuart Bodys of the RAF, mechanic for the Norseman aircraft, piloted by Flying Officer P.B. St. Louis, RCAF who in January-February 1950 flew from the Argentine Islands to Stonington Island to relieve the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey station there.
