Mount Gould, Mountain summit in Sierra Nevada, California, United States.

Mount Gould is a 13,011-foot thirteener on the Sierra crest just north of Kearsarge Pass. Its north-south ridge straddles the Fresno County–Kings Canyon National Park line to the west and the Inyo County–John Muir Wilderness line to the east. The first ascent route scrambles talus on the south ridge and climbs more solid rock on the summit block.

The first recorded ascent was in 1890 by Joseph N. LeConte, Hubert P. Dyer, Fred S. Pheby and C. B. Lakeman, who called the peak University Peak. In 1896 LeConte climbed a higher summit 2.4 miles south and transferred that name to it. The next day he led a second climb of this peak and named it for his companion Wilson S. Gould.

The first recorded ascent, in 1890, was made by Joseph N. LeConte, Hubert P. Dyer, Fred S. Pheby and C. B. Lakeman, who scrambled the talus of the south ridge and climbed the solid rock of the summit block. LeConte returned the next day in 1896 and named the peak for his companion Wilson S. Gould.

The easiest approach follows the Kearsarge Pass Trail from the Onion Valley trailhead, then a cross-country section over talus and the summit block. The peak sits on the Sierra crest just north of Kearsarge Pass, on the Fresno and Inyo county line, with the John Muir Wilderness to the east. Neighboring peaks are Dragon Peak across Gould Pass to the north and Nameless Pyramid across Kearsarge Pass to the south.
