The Latady Mountains are a group of mountains rising west of Gardner Inlet, Orville Coast, between Wetmore Glacier and Ketchum Glacier, in southeastern Palmer Land, Antarctica. They rise to about 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) and include from north to south Mount Aaron, McLaughlin Peak, Mount Robertson, Crain Ridge, Mount Wood, Mount Hyatt, Mount Terrazas, and Schmitt Mesa.

The Latady Mountains were seen from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) on 21 November 1947 and partially surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and RARE from Stonington Island in December 1947. They were photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1965–67, and mapped from air photographs by the United States Geological Survey.
