Mount Ojakangas (77°36′S 86°15′W) is an elongated mountain rising to about 2,450 m, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northwest of Mount Washburn in Gromshin Heights in the north part of the Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains. It surmounts Vicha Glacier to the east and Newcomer Glacier to the west.

The mountain was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in 1982 after Richard Ojakangas, a professor of geology at the University of Minnesota in Duluth, and a member of the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) Ellsworth Mountains Expedition of 1979–80.
