Dark Mountain, formerly also known as Black Mountain, is a mountain in the Tanzilla Plateau of the Northern Interior of British Columbia, Canada , located northeast of the settlement of Dease Lake, near Cry Lake.
Before 1937 Dark Mountain was known as Black Mountain. The Canadian Geological Survey recommended a name change to avoid confusion with several similarly named features, see Black Mountain (disambiguation).
