Mount Hermonit ( _he. הר חרמונית, "Har Hermonit") is a part of an extinguished volcano in the north of the Golan Heights. The top of the mountain is 1211 meters above sea level and is the second highest mountain on the Golan heights, after Mount Varda.

The arabic name of the mountain is Tel A-Sheikh ( _ar. تل الشيخ), derived from the name of the Hermon Jebel A-Sheikh ( _ar. جبل الشيخ). According to Druze tradition, Tel A-Sheikh is the wife of Jebel A-Sheikh.

The hebrew origin of Hermonit is the female form of Mount Hermon, similarly to arabic.

Most of Mount Hermonit is within the nature reserve of Tel A-Sheikha.
