Mount Foster is a peak rising to {{convert|2105|m|ft|0}} in the Imeon Range on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is the highest point of the South Shetland Islands archipelago.

Mount Foster has triple peaks of which Mount Foster proper is the southernmost, the central one is Evlogi Peak (2090 m), and the northern one is Antim Peak (2070 m).[2] The first ascent was made by Greg Landreth and team on 29 January 1996.[3]

The feature is named after Captain Henry Foster, commander of HMS Chanticleer who explored the South Shetlands in 1829.
