Fionn Bheinn is a Scottish mountain located south of Loch Fannich in the north western highlands. It has a height of 933 m (3061 ft) and is listed as a Munro. The south side of the mountain is a shallow, smooth grassy slope, but its north face is steeper and is considered more impressive.The Munros (SMC Guide), Donald Bennett et al, ISBN 0-907521-13-4]

Fionn Bheinn is most often climbed from the village of Achnasheen to the south, with the normal route following the burn called Alit Achadh na Sineto the nose at Creagan na Laogh, and then up the grassy slopes to the summit. An ascent or descent "via" the east ridge is also common, this route giving better views of the north side of the mountain.
