Binnein Beag is a mountain at the eastern end of the Mamores range in Inverness-shire. It reaches a height of 3,094 feet at its summit, and so it qualifies as a Munro.

The mountain is found four miles north of Kinlochleven. It is a relatively small, conical peak which is connected to its larger neighbour, Binnein Mòr, by a bealach at 2,461 feet. Despite its being overshadowed by Binnein Mòr, and its modest name (which means "Little Peak", it is listed as a Munro.

Bennein Beag is commonly climbed from Kinlochleven in combination with Binnein Mòr. Its summit gives good views of Ben Alder to the east, the Grey Corries to the north, and the vast bulk of Binnein Mòr to the southhwest.
