Corrachadh Mor (56°42′56″N, 6°13′37″W; grid reference NM414662) is a small hillock on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland, notable for being the most westerly point on the island of Great Britain. It is about 36 kilometres (22 miles) further west than Land's End in Cornwall.

This headland is a few metres west of Ardnamurchan Point (about a kilometre to the north), which is commonly described as being the most westerly point on the peninsula.

Corrachadh Mor means 'Great, tapering field' in the Scottish Gaelic language.
