Mount Shattuck ist ein 1.430 m hoher Gipfel der Independence Hills in der westantarktischen Heritage Range.[1]

Seinen Namen erhielt der Berg im Jahr 1966 vom amerikanischen Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names im Gedenken an den Flugmechaniker der United States Navy Wayne M. Shattuck, der beim Absturz der Douglas LC-47 „Spirit of McMurdo[2] auf dem Ross-Schelfeis am 2. Februar 1966 ums Leben gekommen war.[1]
