Mount Kling is a mountain of 6,053 feet in the south-east of the Allardyce Range of South Georgia, found between Nordenskjöld Peak and Mount Brooker.

The mountain was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Alfred Kling, navigator of the Deutschland during the Second German Antarctic Expedition, in the 1911–12 season, under Filchner. The first ascent of Mount Kling was made on 21 January 1990 by Julian Freeman-Attwood and Lindsay Griffin, members of the Southern Ocean Mountaineering Expedition.
