The Tapley Mountains (85°45′S 149°00′W) is a mountain range fronting on the eastern side of the Scott Glacier, extending eastward for 56 kilometers (35 mi) between Leverett and Albanus glaciers in the Queen Maud Mountains, a part of the larger Transantarctic Mountains.
Discovered in December 1929 by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition geological party under Laurence McKinley Gould, and named by Byrd for the Hon. Harold L. Tapley of Dunedin, New Zealand, agent for the Byrd AE of 1928–30 and 1933–35.
