Mount Coates is an Antarctic peak, 2,060 m (6,760 ft) high, just east of the Borns Glacier in the Kukri Hills of Victoria Land (in an area claimed by New Zealand). It was named by the geographer Thomas Griffith Taylor, of the British Terra Nova expedition (1910-1913), in homage to his friend Harold Coates.
