Mount Cuthbert is a former copper mining town in the locality of Three Rivers, Shire of Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia.

[2] Mount Cuthbert was one of a string of mining towns created in north-west Queensland (other examples being Duchess and Selwyn) by Melbourne investors eager to profit from high copper prices in the early 20th century.

A railway had been opened to the town and copper smelters were operating by 1917, and by 1918 the population was recorded as 750 people.

[5] A fall in the world price of copper in 1920 badly affected the local economy, and by 1921 only 267 people remained.

[7] The township of Mount Cuthbert and its smelter is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.
