Mount Shear (78°20′S 86°8′W) is a mountain over 4,000 m, standing 4 miles (6 km) northwest of Mount Tyree in the Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It surmounts Patton Glacier to the northeast. The peak was discovered by the Marie Byrd Land Traverse Party (1957–58) led by Charles R. Bentley, and was named for James A. Shear, a scientific leader at Hallett Station during the IGY in 1957.
