Mount Kosciuszko, located in the Snowy Mountains, in Kosciuszko National Park, is the highest mountain in Australia (not including its external territories), at 2,228 m above sea level. It was named by the Polish explorer Count Paul Strzelecki in 1840 in honour of the Polish national hero General Tadeusz Kościuszko.

The name of the mountain was formerly spelled "Mount Kosciusko", an Anglicisation; but the version "Mount Kosciuszko" was officially adopted in 1997 by the Geographical Names Board of NSW. The common Australian pronunciation of Kosciuszko, "kozzy-osko" (IPA), differs from the pronunciation in Polish, "kosh-CHOOSH-ko" .
