Mount Warrenheip is an inactive Volcanic cone in Victoria, Australia rising 714 metres above sea level. The mountain is a landmark of Dunnstown, Victoria the closest large town as well as the city of Ballarat with the mountain being located at its outskirts in the suburb of Warrenheip, Victoria. Mount Warrenheip ceased as an active volcano around 100,000 years ago.

The name Warrenheip originates from the Wathaurong word for "emu's feathers" describing the fern like vegetation which covered it.

Along with Mount Buninyong, it is one of only two forested volcanic cones in Victoria.

Mount Warrenheip has telecommunications antennae at its peak and its foothills are the location of Kryal Castle and cattle grazing.
