Mount Cotton is a suburb located south-east of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in the Redland City local government area.

Mount Cotton is named for the mountain that is in the area. It was named by Robert Dixon, a surveyor in the colony of Queensland. He named it after the commandant of the penal settlement of Moreton Bay, Major Sydney Cotton. Until the Shire of Tingalpa was abolished in 1949, Mount Cotton hosted its council chambers.

Mount Cotton is a Koala conservation area.[1]
