Mount Wild is a sharply defined rock ridge with several summits on the Trinity Peninsula of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory. Its summit stands at 3,100 feet high.
The mountain stands at the north side of the mouth of the Sjögren Glacier as it enters Prince Gustav Channel.
The peaks were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Hope Bay' in August 1945. It is named in association with Cape Worsley, after Commander J.R.F. Wild, of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve: Wild and Worsley were both officers who served in Shackleton's Imperial Transantarctic Expedition, the Endurance expedition. Point Wild is also named for Commander Wild.
The mountain was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from 'Hope Bay', 1960-61.
