Mount Clear is a semi-rural suburb of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia south of the CBD in the Canadian Creek Valley.

[1] Mount Clear is characterised by its topography of gently undulating hills flanked by bush and pine plantation forestry.

It began as a small mining community, however it expanded rapidly in the latter 20th Century to become part of the Ballarat urban area and much subdivision activity continues.

Housing consists almost solely of single-family detached homes constructed since the 1970s on larger than average blocks.

[3] The main form of public transport is a bus service which runs along the Midland Highway between Buninyong and northern Ballarat at a frequency of approximately 30 minutes.
