Tumbledown Mountain is a mountain in Franklin County, Maine.

The mountain is a popular hiking spot in western Maine, with trailheads located on Byron Road in unincorporated Township 6 north of Weld. It is distinguished by an alpine pond (known locally as "Crater Lake" or "Tumbledown Pond") just below the summit. The main trails are known as the Loop Trail and the Brook Trail, however, a challenging hike awaits those who can manage to find the derelict Chimney Trail. Tumbledown Mountain is also located near Coos Canyon, a mountain stream that is an excellent place for a swim during the summer months.
