Beinn a' Bhùird is a Munro in the Cairngorm mountain range of Scotland.

In "Watson (1975)" the author suggests the mountain should be named "Beinn Bòrd - table hill" saying that local Scottish Gaelic speakers pronounced the mountain "Paing Bòrd", with some of the older local folk still using "Painna Bòrd".
