Francis John Mount (14 October 1831 – 9 May 1903[1]) was an Anglican priest.[2][3][4]

Mount was educated at Eton[5] and Oriel College, Oxford[6] and ordained in 1855.[7] He began his career with a curacy at St Mark's [8] Horsham[9] after which he was an Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Chichester[10] and Vicar of Firle[11] then Cuckfield.[12] In 1887 he became Archdeacon of Chichester and in 1899 Vicar of Burpham,[13] holding both posts until his death.[14] He was offered the deanery of Chichester Cathedral in late December 1901, but declined due to illness.[15]

Mount's father William, brother William and nephew William were all Members of Parliament.
