Mount Huckle is a mountain in the Douglas Range in the north-east of Alexander Island in the British Antarctic Territory. It rises to 8,530 feet.
The mountain was possibly sighted by the French Antarctic Expedition on 21 January 1909 but not recognized as part of Douglas Range. It was photographed from the air by the British Graham Land Expedition on 16 August 1936 and 1 February 1937, and by Ronne in 1947. It was surveyed on its eastern side by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Stonington Island in 1948.
The mountain is named after John Sydney Rodney Huckle, the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey's general assistant on Deception Island (Base Leader) 1947-48, and Stonington Island 1948-50, who took part in survey of the west side of George VI Sound in 1949.
