Mont Blanc de Cheilon (3,870 m) is a mountain in the Pennine Alps in Switzerland. The mountain lies between the valleys of Bagnes and Arolla and is one of the highest summits between the Grand Combin to the west and the Dent Blanche to the east. The massif is glaciated, with the Cheilon Glacier to the north, the Giétro Glacier to the west, the Brenay Glacier to the south and the Tsijiore Nouve Glacier to the east.
The first ascent of the mountain was made by Johann Jakob Weilenmann and J. Felley on 11 September 1865.
