Mount Vernon is a predominantly African-American historic neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio, United States.

The neighborhood lies within the historic Near East Side community, north of King-Lincoln Bronzeville.

The neighborhood is named for Mount Vernon Avenue, the center of a once-thriving economy.

It was during an era of segregation and isolation for the community, and thus Black families were self-sustaining in the area.

The complex was formerly a public housing project called Sawyer Towers.
