Ben Lomond, 974 m (3196 feet), is a mountain in the Scottish Highlands. It is east of Loch Lomond, and is the most southerly of the Munros.

Its accessibility from Glasgow and elsewhere in central Scotland, together with the relative ease of ascent from Rowardennan, from where a well trodden track runs all the way to the summit, makes it one of the most popular of all the Munros.

The West Highland Way runs along the western base of the mountain, by the loch.
