White Hill (Irish: An Cnoc Bán) is a mountain located in the northeastern section of the Wicklow Mountains. It can be found on the path of the Wicklow Way, just south of Djouce Mountain. Due to their proximity and relative heights, the former is often referred to as the 'shoulder' of the latter.[1]

Years of erosion caused by the Wicklow Way, which transverses the mountain on its way from Lough Tay to Djouce, has resulted in a long boardwalk being placed along the route, made of railway sleepers and wire.
