Mount Narryer or Mount Narryer Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station and had previously operated as a sheep station.

It is located about 208 kilometres (129 mi) north of Yalgoo and 214 kilometres (133 mi) north east of Kalbarri in the Mid West region of Western Australia. Mount Narryer occupies an area of 198,873 hectares (491,426 acres) leasehold and 202 hectares (499 acres) freehold with a carrying capacity of 11,000 sheep. Situated along the Murchison River, the property is broken into 18 paddocks of mulga scrubland with one permanent spring, four dams and 40 bores equipped with windmills.

The station is named after Mount Narryer, a large rocky outcrop.

The current homestead is listed on the Register of the National Estate as an historic place. The buildings are not typical of the local area, with the architect designed elaborate house and impressive shearing shed both built from local stone. It was built when Charles Atkins, who also owned the Palace Hotel in Perth, owned the property.
