Mount Somers (Māori: Te Kiekie) is a small town in Canterbury, New Zealand, nestled in the foothills of the Southern Alps.

Coal, clay, sand, and limestone have been mined in the hills behind the town, and from 1885 until 1968 the community and its industries were served by the Mount Somers Branch railway from the Main South Line.

From Mount Somers railway station a private bush tramway ran into the hills behind the town, providing access to the various industrial operations there.

Mount Somers is famous amongst the international experimental and underground music communities as it is the home of Peter King and his lathe cut record business.
