Mount Arrowsmith () in Antarctica is a jagged rock peak near Mount Perseverance, 2 miles (3.2 km) along a ridge running northeast from that mountain, and a like distance east of Mount Whitcombe in Victoria Land. Mapped in 1957 by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956-58), it was named by them for its similarity to the Canterbury, New Zealand, mountain of that name, and in association with Mount Whitcombe.
