Round Mountain is the highest peak of the New England Tableland highlands in New South Wales, Australia.

Round Mountain is located about 65 km east of Armidale, New South Wales. It is the highest peak of the Snowy Range, a spur of the Great Dividing Range which forms part of the eastern escarpment of the New England Tableland. Note that this Snowy Range is not to be confused with the better-known one in the far south of New South Wales.

Round Mountain is 1,584 metres above sea level. It is located about 10 km NW of the better known Point Lookout, in New England National Park, which is almost as tall and has a better view. It is located a few kilometers west of the small settlement of Ebor.

Round Mountain is located in Cathedral Rock National Park

The northern slopes of Round Mountain are drained by the Guy Fawkes River which flows over Ebor Falls and eventually into the Clarence River. The south slopes of Round Mountain are drained by the Styx River which flows to the Macleay River.
