Mount Hyland Nature Reserve is a protected area of New South Wales. The reserve is part of the New England Group of the World Heritage Site Gondwana Rainforests of Australia inscribed in 1986 and added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007.

Mount Hyland is a triple peaked mountain, some 400 metres higher than the surrounding plain. The highest point is 1,434 metres above sea level. It is situated 35 kilometres west of Dorrigo, New South Wales.

The temperate rainforest is of scientific interest, being a remnant of former Gondwana forests that once covered Australia. The rainforest lacks the Antarctic Beech and is dominated by Common Sassafras and other species.
