Musheramore (from Irish: Muisire Mór, meaning "great [mountain] of the Múscraige") is a 644 m (2,113 ft) mountain in County Cork, Ireland. It is the highest of the Boggeragh Mountains.

There are two holy wells on the mountain: one at the summit, for sick animals, and one on its northern slopes, for humans. The later is a place of worship and it's called St. John's Well.
