Mount Calli is a mountain in Range 2 Coast Land District of British Columbia, Canada. [2] It is located north of the head of the Kingcome River in the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield south of Silverthrone Mountain and north of Mount Somolenko.

The name of the mountain was adopted on the National Topographic System map 92M on March 28, 1967. It is named after Kenneth Calli, a Canadian Army private from North Vancouver who was killed in action on August 15, 1944, while serving with the Canadian Scottish Regiment during World War II. Calli is buried in the Bretteville-sur-Laize Canadian War Cemetery in the Calvados department of France. [2]
