Mount Sourabaya is a volcanic mountain of about 3,000 feet on Bristol Island in the South Sandwich Islands, found one nautical mile north-west of Mount Darnley on the same island.

The name was conferred by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971, after the whaling factory ship Sourabaya, from which an eruption of the island was witnessed in 1935.

The most recent eruption of Mount Sourabaya began between 19 April and 23 April 2016[1]
