Kusum Kangguru is a mountain in the Himalaya of eastern Nepal. The name comes from Tibetan and means "Three Snow Peaks", which refers to the triple summit of the mountain. The mountain is the main source of the Kusum Khola which flows westward to merge into the Dudh Khosi.

The mountain is classified as a trekking peak, but it is considered one of the most difficult to climb. Kusum Kangguru is one of the first "real" mountains that is seen when trekking from Jiri to Mount Everest base camp.
