Duncolm (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Choluim) is a hill in Scotland. It is the highest point in both West Dunbartonshire and the Kilpatrick Hills, at an elevation of 401 metres (1,316 ft).[1] Its name means "Fort of Columba".

It lies near Loch Humphrey. There is an easy path to the summit from the south-west, which passes over two subsidiary peaks, Little Duncolm and Middle Duncolm.
