Mount Umbriel is a peak, rising to about 4,920 feet, overlooking the head of Venus Glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island within the British Antarctic Territory. It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee from association with nearby Uranus Glacier; Umbriel is one of the satellites of the planet Uranus.
The eastern face of the mountain overlooking the George VI Ice Shelf that occupies George VI Sound.
The mountain was first mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947-48 by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960.
