Beinn Dearg is a modest mountain of 1,401 feet, in the Menteith Hills of Perthshire. It is part of a north-east to south-west ridge on the south side of Loch Venacher, between the loch and the A81. It is one with Ben Gullipen beside it to the north-east.

The Rob Roy Way long distance path runs along the north slope of the hill.

The hill's name is common amongst the Highlands, meaning 'Red Mountain'.
