Cìr Mhòr is a 'Corbett' mountain on the Isle of Arran in Buteshire. It is known as 'the Matterhorn of Arran' from its shape.

The name of the hill is Gaelic (usually with the definite article; A' Chìr Mhòr) and means the "big comb", referring its resemblance to a cockscomb.

Cìr Mhòr is separated from the island's highest peak, Goat Fell, by a col called The Saddle.
