Mount Nelson (MOWNT-NEL-sən; Nuenonne/palawa kani: Kriwalayti) is a mountain and suburb on the southern edge of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The mountain rises to a summit elevation of 351 metres (1,152 ft) above sea level and offers sweeping views of the River Derwent, the Meehan Range and surrounding areas.

The suburb covers approximately 5.9 square kilometres (2.3 sq mi), including 14 parklands that account for 16.3% of its area. Its first thoroughfare, Nelson Road, was constructed in 1908 to improve access to the historic Mount Nelson Signal Station, which served as a semaphore link between Hobart and Port Arthur during the colonial era.

Mount Nelson is popular with tourists for attractions such as the Mount Nelson Signal Station, the Truganini Conservation Area, and several walking trails. It also features educational facilities, including Hobart College and the Sustainability Learning Centre, as well as recreational amenities like the University Soccer Club and Mount Nelson Oval. The area's Jurassic dolerite geology supports diverse ecosystems, adding to its historical and ecological significance.
