Mount Moffett is a mountainous stratovolcano that forms the summit of Adak Island of the Aleutian Islands in the U.S. state of Alaska. Its peak reaches {{convert|3924|ft|0}}. It is heavily glaciated and is made primarily of high alumina basalt and andesite.[1] It has never had an eruption in recorded history. The southern flank of the mountain is assumed to be its youngest side.[1] In comparison to other Aleutian stratovolcanoes, Moffett is a small vent, characteristic of its mixed composition.

It was named by the U.S. Navy in 1936 for Rear Admiral William Adger Moffett.[3]

It has occasionally been skied with there once being a ski-lift on the lower portion.[2]
