Mount Sherman is a fourteener in the U.S. state of Colorado. It is located in the Mosquito Range, approximately 8 miles south of Mount Lincoln. It lies on the border between Lake County and Park County, approximately 7 miles east-southeast of Leadville.

Mount Sherman is one of the most nondescript of the fourteeners, and one of easiest to climb; it is recommended as a beginner fourteener. It is also the only fourteener that has had a successful aircraft landing on its summit.[2]
