Mount Mallory, Mountain summit in Sierra Nevada, California

Mount Mallory is a 4,222-metre peak on the Sierra Nevada crest, where the boundary between Inyo National Forest and Sequoia National Park crosses the summit. The southwest side lies in Tulare County within Sequoia National Park, while the north and east slopes fall in Inyo County's John Muir Wilderness. It stands 4.3 km southeast of Mount Whitney, flanked by Mount Irvine to the north and Mount LeConte to the southeast.

Mount Mallory was named in memory of George H. Leigh Mallory of the 1924 British Mount Everest expedition, who was lost on Everest in June 1924. Norman Clyde proposed the names of Mallory and Andrew Irvine after the pair reached the highest altitude attained by a climber. The sources record no first ascent by Clyde.
