{{short description|Mountain in Tasmania}}{{other use|Mount King (disambiguation)}}{{Use Australian English|date=December 2014}}{{Use dmy dates|date=December 2014}}Mount King William I (1,324 m) is a mountain adjacent to the Lyell Highway in Central Highlands, Tasmania.^[1] It is located 10 km southwest of Derwent Bridge. It is the northernmost of the King William Range.^[2]

It has two namesakes in the King William Range - Mount King William II (1363)^[3] and Mount King William III.^[4]

It is often a reference point for the 'end' of the inhabited part of the western section of Lyell Highway as there are no permanent structures until Linda; it is inside the eastern boundary of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park.

There is also Lake King William, south of Derwent Bridge. It is dammed at Butlers Gorge, its south end.

Mount King William was named during Sir John Franklin's journey to the west in 1842.^[5], although the reigning monarch was in fact Queen Victoria.

WC Piguenit painted it while on his journey through the area in the 1880s.
