Goat Fell is the highest point on the Isle of Arran. At 874 metres or 2867 feet it falls short of the 3000 feet required to be considered a Munro, being instead a mere Corbett.

The name is believed to mean either 'Mountain of Wind' (from the Gaelic 'goath') or 'Goat Mountain' (from the Norse 'geita').

The Ordnance Survey grid reference of its peak is NR 991 415.

On a clear day, one can see Ireland from the summit.
