Mont Tizard is a mountain in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Located at the southern edge of the Joan of Arc Peninsula, Kerguelen, it rises to a height of 844 metres (2,769 ft) above sea level.[2]

Mont Tizard is the highest point of the Joan of Arc Peninsula. It rises only 1.3 kilometers (0.81 mi) to the north of the seashore. A small mountain lake lies close to the eastern slope.[2]

This mountain was named in 1874 during the Challenger expedition after Thomas Henry Tizard, second-in-command of the HMS Challenger.[3]
