Geal-Chàrn is a mountain in Inverness-shire. It is an outlier of the Monadhliath Mountains, to the west of the highest part of that range, in the heart of the Highlands and north of the Great Glen.

The mountain reaches 3,038 feet at its summit and so is classified as a Munro. Its name is Gaelic, meaning "White Peak".

Reaching Geal-Chàm may be a challenge as it is remote, but it is 9 miles northeast of Corrour railway station, which is a brisk walk.
