Mount Fox is a locality in the Shire of Hinchinbrook, Queensland, Australia.
Mount Fox is a locality on the western side of the Great Dividing Range. The eastern side of the locality is mountainous and undeveloped; much of it is within the Girrigun National Park and the Lannercost State Forest. The dormant volcano Mount Fox is in the western part of the locality and the locality presumably takes its name from that mountain.
