Benvane ({{langx|gd|Beinn Bhàn}}) is a mountain in the Trossachs, in Stirling council area, Scotland. It lies within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park,{{cite web|url=https://forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/forest-parks/queen-elizabeth-forest-park|title=Queen Elizabeth Forest Park|publisher=Forestry and Land Scotland|accessdate=4 August 2020}} and the summit is on the western boundary of the Trossachs National Nature Reserve.{{cite web|url=https://sitelink.nature.scot/site/10503|title=The Great Trossachs Forest NNR|publisher=Scottish Natural Heritage|accessdate=4 August 2020}} It is {{convert|821|m|ft}} high, and is classified as a Corbett, being joined by a ridge to the neighbouring Corbett of Ben Ledi.{{cite book|editor=Rob Milne & Hamish Brown|title=The Corbetts and Other Scottish Hills|publisher=Scottish Mountaineering Trust|date=2016|page=49|ISBN=9780907521716}}

Benvane may be climbed by several routes, which can be combined to make for a circular route. From the south the summit can be reached via the 6 km-long ridge that connects it to Ben Ledi: the bealach between the two peaks can be reached via Ben Ledi itself or directly: either from the Stank Glen on the west side of this ridge, ascending from the shores of Loch Lubaig; or from Brig o' Turk via the Glen Finglas reservoir and Glen Casaig. Brig o' Turk also serves as the start point for a route ascending directly to Benvane's summit via its south ridge. On the northern side of the hill there are also routes from Strathyre, and from Glen Buckie near Balquhidder via a route up the hill's north ridge.

The Ben Ledi-Benvane ridge marks the boundary between West Strathyre estate (owned by Forestry and Land Scotland),{{cite web|url=https://forestryandland.gov.scot/images/corporate/design-plans/cowal-trossachs/weststrathyre/maps/wsy_lmp2017_m6_recreation.pdf|title=West Strathyre Land Management Plan|publisher=Forestry and Land Scotland|accessdate=4 August 2020}} and Glen Finglas Estate, which is owned by the Woodland Trust.{{cite web|url=http://www.whoownsscotland.org.uk/property.php?p=5694|title=Property Details: Glenfinglas|website=Who Owns Scotland|accessdate=4 August 2020}}
