Mount Geikie is a mountain in the West Coast Range, Western Tasmania.
The surrounding high ground is often known as 'The Tyndalls'. The area is at the northern end of a block of mountains that are north of Mount Sedgwick.
The 'Tyndalls' have a number of glacial lakes, and lies south east of the Henty Gold-Mine, and Hydro Tasmania dam on the Henty River - and south of Lake Makintosh, Lake Murchison and Tullah.
