Càrn an Righ is a mountain in Perthshire, amongst the Cairnwell Hills which reaches a height of 3,376 feet at its summit, and so it qualifies as a Munro. It rises steeply from the southwest end of Glen Ey. Its name means "Hill of the King".
The mountain has a subsidiary peak, Stac na h-Iolair, which together and with the ridge between them form an arc round a corrie high in the bulk of the mountain, which corrie is the main summit looks down upon.
The summit is cone-shaped, with steep crags on its southern faces which a walker is wisest to avoid. Steep crags also scar the north of the northeast summit ridge.
