Fuar Tholl is a mountain in the highlands of Scotland. It has a rocky summit, and has acquired the nickname Wellington's Nose, after a supposed similarity with the nose of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.

The hill is close to both the A890 road and the Kyle of Lochalsh railway line. The most common route of ascent starts from Achnashellach station, initially following the right-of-way to Torridon. After about 2 kilometres another path leads off to the left, heading for the bealach between Fuar Tholl and Sgorr Ruadh. From here the summit may be reached by way of a steep and somewhat loose path. Ther are number of possible other routes from the south; these are usually utilised for descent, allowing a circular route to be undertaken

Fuar Tholl may also be climbed as part of a circuit of Corrie Lair, taking in two Munros: Sgorr Ruadh and Beinn Liath Mhòr.
