Benbaun (Irish: Binn Bhán, meaning 'white peak')[2] is a mountain in County Galway, Ireland.

[2] Benbaun is the highest mountain of the Twelve Bens range, which is situated in the Connemara National Park in west County Galway.

This valley is bounded by two large long north-easterly rocky spurs, and the southern spur contains "Carrot Ridge" (Irish: Meacan Buí), an important area for rock-climbing in the Bens, with climbs varying from Diff (D) to Very Severe (VS) and ranging from 150 to 320 metres in length.
