Mount Kilcoy is a locality in the Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia. At the 2011 Australian Census the locality recorded a population of 255.

Mount Kilcoy occupies a valley drained by Kilcoy Creek at the southern end of the Conondale Range. Kilcoy Weir was built at Mount Kilcoy and is able to retain a maximum of 158 megalitres. The more flatter land along the creek is used for agriculture while the sloping terrain towards the north, east and western boundaries remains vegetated.

The locality takes its name from the mountain which in turn takes its name from the pastoral station established by brothers Evan and Colin Mackenzie in 1842, which in turns takes its name from an area in Ross-shire, Scotland (57°32′15″N 4°22′15″W / 57.5376°N 4.3708°W / 57.5376; -4.3708 (Kilcoy, Ross-shire, Scotland)).

Mount Kilcoy State School opened in 1909 with a single teacher.
