Mount Nelson is a suburb of the city of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. As its name suggests, it is located upon a mountain. In the strictest sense of the word Mount Nelson is not really a mountain as its highest peak is approximately 350m above sea level. Mount Nelson is located directly above the Hobart suburb of Sandy Bay and to the south of Hobart's CBD. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious suburbs in Hobart.

The main road in Mount Nelson is Nelson Road, which extends up the mountain from the Wrest Point Hotel Casino in the suburb of Sandy Bay. It is famously known for its "bends", which consist of seven very sharp corners created as the road winds its way up the mountain. All seven of the bends have been given a name. Nelson Road is one of the oldest thoroughfares in Hobart, being laid as the path to the signal station not long after the settlement of Hobart.
