Mount Korbu (Malay: Gunung Korbu) is a mountain in Perak, Malaysia. It is the highest peak of the Titiwangsa Mountains, the southernmost section of the Tenasserim Hills.

Mt. Korbu is also the second highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia, standing at 2,183 metres. The highest peak is Mount Tahan at 2,187 metres in the state of Pahang.

An average climber would need four days and three nights for a return trip to Gunung Korbu. A local guide is needed to scale this mountain as the route is unmarked and climbers would get easily lost.

Mount Gayong (2,173 metres), fourth highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia, can be reached in about an hour's trek from the peak of Mt. Korbu.

A reasonable level of physical fitness is required to conquer Gunung Korbu and it is not recommended for first time climbers.
