Slieve Bearnagh is a mountain of the Mourne Mountains in County Down.
Its distinctive summit is crowned by a number of rocky tors, witness to the hard, grainy granite of which the mountain is formed. These great, rocky outcrops mark this and the other side of the valley separating Slieve Bearnagh from Slieve Meelmore to the south.
The valley to the south is known as Pollaphuca (a name meaning "pool of the elves"). Paths lead to the cols on either side of the mountain down to here, namely to the west and Hare's Gap to the east. From the latter, one can also descend southwards to the head of the Ben Crom reservoir.
The Mourne Wall crosses the summit of Slieve Bearnagh east to west.
