Stob Binnein is a mountain in the southern Highlands of Scotland, near Crianlarich. It forms a twin-peak with Ben More 1,174 metres (3,852 ft), from which it is separated by the Bealach-eadar-dà-Bheinn, meaning pass between two hills.
Stob Binnein is often climbed in conjunction with Ben More by means of the Bealach-eadar-dà-Bheinn. Descent may be made from the bealach direct to Benmore Burn. It may also be climbed from the south, starting near Inverlochlarig, some eight kilometres (five miles) from Balquhidder. A route of about five kilometres (three miles) climbs from the glen, following the mountain's southern ridge over the intervening minor summits of Stob Invercarnaig and Stob Coire an Lochain.
