Il Monte Minto è un rilievo per lo più libero da ghiacci che misura 4165 m di altezza, situato circa 4900 km a est del Monte Adam nella zona centrale delle cosiddette Monti dell'Ammiragliato (Admiralty Mountains), in Antartide. Fu scoperto nel gennaio 1841 dal capitano inglese James Clark Ross, che gli dette il nome del Conte di Minto, successivamente nominato primo Lord dell'Ammiragliato. La prima ascesa fu compiuta il 18 febbraio 1988 dagli arrampicatori Greg Mortimer, Lincoln Hall, Jonathan Chester, Lyle Closs, Chris Hilton e Glenn Singleman.
