Mount Timbertop is a forested mountain in north-eastern Victoria, Australia rising above the Delatite River valley, 23km south-east of Mansfield. It forms part of the southern Victorian Alps within the Great Dividing Range and lies within the Howqua Hills State Forest. The mountain likely takes its name from the distinctive timbered ridgeline, and is best known for its close proximity to the Geelong Grammar School campus of Timbertop, situated at the foot of the mountain, with the mountain being highly frequented and traversed across the year as part of various outdoor activities of the school.
