At [[Oxley College (Burradoo, NSW)|Oxley College]] in [[Burradoo, New South Wales|Burradoo]], New South Wales, a sports house is called Mawson, as is at [[Clarence High School (Howrah, Tasmania)|Clarence High School]] in [[Hobart]], Tasmania, Forest Lodge Public School and [[Fort Street High School|Street High School]], both in Sydney, where he was educated. The Mawson Collection of Antarctic exploration artefacts is on permanent display at the [[South Australian Museum]], including a screening of a recreated version of his journey that was shown on [[ABC Television (Australian TV network)|ABC Television]] on 12 May 2008.

Mawson (postcode 2607) is a suburb of Canberra, district of Woden Valley, Australian Capital Territory.  The suburb was gazetted in 1966 and is named after him. The theme for street names in this area is Antarctic exploration.

In 1991, Irish folk musician [[Andy Irvine (musician)|Andy Irvine]] recorded the song "Douglas Mawson" for his album ''[[Rude Awakening (Andy Irvine album)|Rude Awakening]]''. The song recounts the events of the [[Far Eastern Party]].

In 2011, [[Ranulph Fiennes]] included Mawson in his book ''My Heroes: Extraordinary Courage, Exceptional People''.

In 2013, the "Australian Mawson Centenary Expedition", led by [[Chris Turney]] and Chris Fogwill, undertook a voyage to investigate Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic oceanography, climate and biology. Their ship, the [[Akademik Shokalskiy|MV ''Akademik Shokalskiy'']], became trapped in ice.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.explorersweb.com/polar/news.php?url=aae-trapped-in-antarctic-sea-ice_1388339068 |title=Australian Spirit of Mawson ship trapped in Antarctic sea ice |publisher=explorersweb.com |date=29 December 2013 |access-date=30 December 2013}}</ref> The expedition later visited Mawson's huts at Cape Denison on Commonwealth Bay.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/antarctica-live/video/2013/dec/25/mawsons-huts-journey-antarctica-video |title=Expedition to Mawson's Huts: a journey into Antarctica – video |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=25 December 2013 |access-date=30 December 2013}}</ref>

After the release of Mawson's journals and other expedition records, some historians have questioned Mawson's navigation, risk-taking and leadership.<ref name=bbc-2014>Mark Pharoah, curator of the Mawson collection at the [[South Australia Museum]] in Adelaide.

In December 2013, the first opera to be based on Mawson's 1911–1914 expedition to Antarctica, ''The Call of Aurora'' (by Tasmanian composer Joe Bugden)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thecallofaurora.com/|title=The Call of Aurora|date=December 2013|access-date=28 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304071133/http://www.thecallofaurora.com/|archive-date=4 March 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> was performed at The Peacock Theatre in Hobart. ''The Call of Aurora'' investigates the relationship between Douglas Mawson and his wireless operator, [[Sidney Jeffryes]], who developed symptoms of paranoia and had to be relieved of his duties.

In 2019, [[Australian Dance Theatre]] presented the premiere of ''South'' by Artistic Director [[Garry Stewart]] in Adelaide. The acclaimed contemporary dance work reflects upon the treacherous journey across the wilds of eastern Antarctica undertaken by Mawson and his ill-fated team in the summer of 1912–1913. Garry Stewart won Outstanding Achievement in Choreography for ''South'' in 2019 at the Australian Dance Awards, presented by AusDance. The work has since toured regional South Australia.

David Roberts' account of Mawson's AAE expedition, ''Alone on the Ice'', and the deadly effect of dog liver are referenced in the plot of an episode of British television series ''[[New Tricks]]'', where it is used to commit the almost-perfect murder.

The [[Mawson Trail]] in South Australia is also named after him.

Minor planet [[4456 Mawson]] is named in his honour.<ref>{{cite book|chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007%2F978-3-540-29925-7_4401 |chapter=(4456) Mawson |publisher=Springer |date=2003 |pages=383 |isbn=978-3-540-29925-7 |doi=10.1007/978-3-540-29925-7_4401 |title=Dictionary of Minor Planet Names }}</ref>
