Meall a' Bhuiridh is a mountain on the edge of Rannoch Moor in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies near the top of Glen Coe and Glen Etive, overlooking the Kingshouse inn and the A82 road. The Glencoe Ski area is located on the northern slopes of the peak.

Meall a' Bhuiridh is linked by a high bealach to the neighbouring peak of Creise, and the two hills are often climbed in conjunction, starting a finishing at the ski area carpark.

The Clachlet Traverse is a 25 km north-to-south route linking the inn at Inveroran with the Kingshouse. Meall a' Bhuiridh is the final of four Munros crossed on this route, the others being (south to north) Stob a' Choire Odhair, Stob Ghabhar and Creise.
