The '''Nereidum Montes''' is a [[mountain range]] on [[Mars]]. It stretches 1,143&nbsp;km, northeast of [[Argyre Planitia]]. It is in the [[Argyre quadrangle]]. The mountains are named after a [[Classical albedo features on Mars|Classical albedo feature]].<ref>{{gpn|4214}}</ref> Nereidum Montes has [[Martian Gullies|gullies]] in some areas.

A hummocky relief resembling [[Veiki moraine]]s has been found in Nereidum Montes. The relief is hypothesized to result, very much like Veiki moraines, from the melting of a Martian glacier.<ref>{{cite conference |url=http://elib.dlr.de/110003/1/Johnsson_et_al.Veiki_Moraines.LPSC_2016.1229.pdf |title=Veiki-moraine-like Landforms in the Nereidum Montes Region on Mars: Insights from Analogues in Northern Sweden |last1=Johnsson |first1=A. |last2=Reiss |first2=D. |last3=Hauber |first3=E. |last4=Johnson |first4=M.D.|last5=Olvmo |first5=M.|last6=Hiesinger |first6=H. |date=2016 |conference=47th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference}}</ref>
