Meall Gorm is a mountain in the range known as the Fannichs, one of the nine "munros" in that range, which is to say mountains above 3,000 feet. Meall Gorm itself stands at 3,113 feet at its summit.. It is in the Forest of Fannich, belonging to Cromartyshire.

The name Meall Gorm is Gaelic, and means "Blue hill".

Meall Gorm has fairly level summit ridge a mile long which, to the south-east descends to a col linking it to An Coileachan and to the north-west a long winding and undulating ridge connects to Sgùrr Mòr. A third ridge heads on down the hill to the south and here is a path leading down to Fannich House on the shores of Loch Fannich.
