Monte Gordo is a mountain on the island of São Nicolau, Cape Verde.

[3] The boundary of the municipalities Tarrafal de São Nicolau and Ribeira Brava runs over the mountain.

[1]: 21  Some of the higher parts of the site are forested, especially around Monte Gordo where relatively high rainfall and frequent misty conditions cause the trees to be thickly covered with lichens.

Endemic plant species include Euphorbia tuckeyana, Nauplius smithii, Echium stenosiphon, Sonchus daltonii, Aeonium gorgoneum and Campanula jacobaea.

[6]: 38 [7] Fauna includes the Chioninia nicolauensis (São Nicolau skink), Cape Verde wall gecko (Tarentola caboverdiana),[5] Fea's petrel (Pterodroma feae) and Cape Verde warbler (Acrocephalus brevipennis).
