Mount Ditte is a mountain in the south of Adelaide Island in the British Antarctic Territory. Its summit reaches about 5085 feet above sea level.

The mountain was roughly mapped by the French Antarctic Expedition of 1903-05 and named 'Massif A. Ditte' after Alfred Ditte (1843-1908), French chemist and member of the Académie des Sciences.

Mount Ditte was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Stonington Island" in October 1948.
