Mount Whitcombe is a mountain in New Zealand's Southern Alps / Kā Tiritiri o te Moana, rising to a height of 2,650 metres (8,690 ft).

It is one of three mountains (along with Malcolm Peak and Mount Evans) which lie at the headwaters of the Rakaia, Wanganui, and Whitcombe Rivers.

The peak of Mount Whitcombe forms part of the boundary between the Canterbury and West Coast Regions.

Whitcombe, along with Jacob Lauper a Swiss Guide, were tasked with investigating a pass at the Rakaia headwaters 4.6 kilometres (2.9 mi) east of the mountain.

This tragic event resulted in Julius von Haast naming the pass the pair travelled, along with the mountain, Mount Whitcombe.
