Mount Mikeno, Extinct volcano in Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Mount Mikeno is an extinct volcano in the Virunga Mountains, reaching 4,437 metres, the range's second-highest peak after Karisimbi and the 13th highest in Africa. It lies entirely within Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and its steep slopes, which rule out human settlement, are covered in forest.

Mount Mikeno lies entirely within Virunga National Park, created in 1925 as Africa's first national park, originally named Albert National Park after King Albert I of Belgium. The mountain's steep, uninhabitable slopes, which gave it the name meaning "poor", were thus placed under protection early on. The park was renamed Virunga in 1969 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

The name Mikeno means "poor", given because the harsh slopes make the mountain unfit for human habitation. The lower slopes instead hold one of the last populations of mountain gorillas, and expeditions to watch them set out from the Bukima Patrol Post near the mountain.

Climbing requires good physical fitness and several days on the mountain, as accommodations are basic. Visitors should expect changeable weather, including fog and rain at higher elevations.

Mount Mikeno is the type locality of the yellow-crested helmetshrike Prionops alberti, meaning the species was first described from specimens collected here. Gorilla-viewing expeditions on its slopes set out from the Bukima Patrol Post, not from the summit. The mountain also appears as the site of the Solomon diamond mine in the film Congo.
