Cuilcagh is a 665-metre-high mountain in Ireland. The summit lies on the border between Counties Fermanagh (in Northern Ireland) and Cavan (in the Republic of Ireland), and is the highest point in both counties. Water from the southern slope flows underground until it emerges some miles away in the Shannon Pot, considered the source of the River Shannon.

The Cuilcagh Mountain Park has recently been joined with the popular tourist attraction the Marble Arch Caves and the Cladagh Glen Nature Reserve to make the Marble Arch Caves European Geopark. The Geopark is protected and managed by Fermanagh District Council through the staff of the Marble Arch Caves Visitor Centre.
