Mount Payne is a mostly ice covered mountain 1.75 miles east of Mount Riddolls in Stever Ridge of the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land. The mountain, which rises to over 3,200 meters, is 3.5 miles east of Mount Randall and 7 miles east of Mount Burrill, features with which the name is associated. Mount Payne honors Roger L.

His contributions to the design and implementation of the Geographic Names Information System from 1985 pioneered the development of automated national placename repositories.
