Mount Francais (64°38′S 63°27′W / 64.633°S 63.450°W / -64.633; -63.450) is a mountain of 2,760 m, which forms the summit of Anvers Island, Antarctica standing southeast of the center of the island and 6 miles north of Borgen Bay. It was first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, who explored the southeast coast of the island in 1898 and later sighted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Charcot, who named it for the expedition ship Francais.
