Saint Regis Mountain is a convert|2874|ft|m|sing=on mountain in Franklin County, New York at the center of the Saint Regis Canoe Area in the Adirondack Park.

It can be climbed from a trailhead on Keese Mills Road in Keese Mill, west of Paul Smiths, and from a trail that starts at a landing on Upper Saint Regis Lake just south of Camp Topridge, a Great Camp built by Marjorie Merriweather Post.

The summit is bare rock, having been cleared by a fire started accidentally by a surveying party led by Verplanck Colvin in 1876. There is a fire tower on the summit that is presently closed, although a restoration effort is underway.
