Mount Cottrell is a locality in the outer western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, 34 km west from the central business district. Its Local Government Area is the Shire of Melton . At the 2006 Census, Mount Cottrell had a population of 586.

It is mainly privately owned open land. It is named after the 200m high mountain it encompasses, called Mount Cottrell. Mount Cottrell is a volcanic cone formed by the radial eruption of numerous lava tongues, the most massive of the Werribee Plains volcanoes. The mountain was purchased by the Shire of Melton in 2007 to preserve the significant geological and flora and fauna values on the site.
