Mount Christi is a mountain rising to {{Convert|1280|m}} in the northern Imeon Range on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The peak overlooks Kongur Glacier to the west-northwest, Saparevo Glacier to the north and Ritya Glacier to the southeast.

The name "Cape Christi" was given for the north cape of Smith Island by a British expedition under Henry Foster, 1828–31, but that feature had already been named Cape Smith. Since the latter name is approved for the cape, the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee recommended in 1953 that for the sake of historical continuity the name "Christi" be approved for the mountain now described.
