Mount Spivey () is a flat-topped, mainly ice-covered mountain, rising to about 2,135 m, standing on the west side of Toynbee Glacier and 9 nautical miles (17 km) south of Mount Nicholas, situated near the northern extremity of the Douglas Range of the northeast portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. First photographed from the air in 1937 by the British Graham Land Expedition under Rymill. Surveyed from the ground in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and named for Robert E. Spivey
was named by the FIDS for Edred, a Saxon king of England in the 10th century. The west face of the mountain was mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by D. Searle of the FIDS in 1960. Mount Edred is the ninth highest peak of Alexander Island, succeeded by Mount Calais and proceeded by Mount Spivey.
