Sgùrr Eilde Mòr or Sgùrr Èilde Mhòr (in Gaelic){{cite web|url=https://www.ainmean-aite.scot/placename/sgurr-eilde-mor/ |title=Sgurr Eilde Mor |work=Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba: Gaelic Place-Names of Scotland}} is a mountain in the Mamores range of the Grampian Mountains, Scotland. It is 6 kilometres north-east of Kinlochleven. It is a steep, conical peak of scree and quartzite boulders, capped with a layer of schist. With a height of 1010 m (3314 ft) it is classed as a Munro, so is popular with hillwalkers. It is most commonly climbed from Kinlochleven by way of a stalker's path which leads to a col at Coire an Lochan, and then by either the south or the west ridge - both routes involving an ascent of steep, bouldery terrain.
