Mount Rouse (Djab Wurrung: Collorrer) is an extinct volcano and prominent geological landmark located immediately next to Penshurst in the Southern Grampians Shire of western Victoria, Australia. Rising to 367 metres above sea level and 145 metres above the surrounding volcanic plain, it is one of the most significant volcanic features in the Newer Volcanics Province, an extensive volcanic field that covers much of south-western Victoria. The mountain and its surrounding area are protected as the Mount Rouse and Crater Reserve and are significant for their geological, cultural, ecological, and historical values.
