Sgurr Mhic Choinnich (Gaelic: Sgurr MhicCoinnich) is a mountain on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It is in the Black Cuillin range of mountains and is classified as a Munro. Like all the other Black Cuillin mountains it is made predominantly of gabbro rock and has little vegetation.

The mountain is named after the mountain guide, John MacKenzie. The most common route to the summit involves climbing a scree slope out of Coire Lagan to reach the bealach between Sgurr Mhic Choinnich and Sgurr Dearg. From here an airy and challenging scramble up the peak's north ridge is required to attain the summit. The ascent is a challenging climb by the standards of British mountains.
