Galtymore (Gaeilge. Gaibhlte Mór), sometimes spelt Galteemore, is a 917 metre (3,009 ft) mountain in the Galtee Mountains, in the province of Munster in Ireland. It is the highest peak in Ireland's highest inland mountain range and Ireland's 14th highest peak overall.
The summit of Galtymore itself straddles the border of County Limerick and County Tipperary.
The slopes of Galtymore are steep but the summit is broad, rounded and rocky. This is due to the constant freeze-thaw action experienced by the summit during the last ice age.
The north face shows abundant evidence of glacial erosion. It harboured a number of cirque glaciers, most of which are now occupied by corrie lakes, including Lough Curra in the west, Lough Bohreen under the summit and Lough Muskry to the east.
Galtymore is not a difficult mountain to climb, with no special equipment needed, but the Galtees are steeper than many Irish mountains and the north face is often snow-covered for some of the winter months. A popular starting point for the ascent of Galtymore is the "Black Road" which can be accessed from the N8 Dublin to Cork road near the village of Skeheenarinky.
