Mount Saint Helena is a peak in the Mayacmas Mountains with flanks in Napa, Sonoma, and Lake counties in California, United States. It is one of the few mountains in the San Francisco Bay Area to receive any snowfall during the winter.

Robert Louis Stevenson and Fanny Vandegrift Osbourne spend the summer of 1880 honeymooning in and abandoned mining camp on Mount Saint Helena. Stevenson's book The Silverado Squatters includes his experiences while living there.

The peak is reachable by hiking trails leading from Robert Louis Stevenson State Park.
