Mont Tremblant ({{IPA|fr|mɔ̃ tʁɑ̃blɑ̃}}) is a mountain of the Laurentian Mountains, reaching an altitude of 932 metres. It is located in the province of Quebec, Canada, in Mont-Tremblant National Park, about 15 km northeast of the town of Mont-Tremblant and east of Lake Tremblant in the Laurentides region north of Montreal. It is one of the tallest peaks of the Laurentian range. It hosts the Mont Tremblant Resort.

The Algonquin people called the mountain Manitonga Soutana ("Mountain of Spirits"), and described the mountain as emitting rumblings and swaying under their feet. This gave rise to the French name montagne Tremblante or mont Tremblant, literally "trembling mountain."{{Cite web|url=https://toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/ToposWeb/Fiche.aspx?no_seq=63482|title=Topos on the web: Mont Tremblant|access-date=6 March 2024}}
