Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair (1,015 m) is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Wester Ross, Scotland. It lies in the remote Dundonnell and Fisherfield Forest.

The ridge is covered in large quartzite boulders, which makes it a difficult peak to climb. Some climbers will wildcamp next to nearby Loch Fhada before they ascend the mountain. The nearest village is Kinlochewe to the south. [2]
