Mount Darby (77°40′S 162°12′E) is a mountain rising to 1,750 metres (5,740 ft) on the divide between Rhone Glacier and Matterhorn Glacier in the Asgard Range, Victoria Land. The mountain stands 1.3 miles (2 km) northwest of Mount J. J. Thomson. It was named by the New Zealand Geographic Board (1998) after Marie Darby, a marine biologist of the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch; her January 1968 voyage to McMurdo Sound in the Magga Dan marks the first visit of a New Zealand woman scientist to Antarctica.
