Mount Morris is a steep, sharp mountain about 1 nautical mile (2 km) south of Mount Ostenso, in the main ridge of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. It surmounts Patton Glacier to the eas-northeast.

The peak was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos from 1957 to 1959, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Wesley R. Morris, a meteorologist at Byrd Station in 1957.[1]
