Mount Dundas is a mountain located in the West Coast region of Tasmania, Australia. The mountain is situated at the north west edge of the West Coast Range.

As colourful a history as that of Mount Lyell, Mount Dundas has had a range of mines and railways such as the North East Dundas Tramway within its vicinity.

The name is also incorporated into the name of the major newspaper of the west coast, the Zeehan and Dundas Herald.

The main copper and gold ore bearing deposits in the West Coast Range are known as occurring in the 'Mount Read Volcanics' relating to the complex geology of the area, and also silver at Mount Dundas.
