Sgurr na Banachdich is a Munro of 965.5 m in Highland. Its key col leads to Sgurr Dearg – Inaccessible Pinnacle, not to its nearest higher summit, Sgurr a' Ghreadaidh South Top.

All four of its nearest neighbours lie to the east, so it stands at the western edge of its group. On the Munros height ladder it sits between A' Mhaighdean (965.8 m) and Carn a' Chlamain (963.5 m). It is a Munro but not a Marilyn: its 114 m of drop is short of 150 m. Its nearest higher summit, Sgurr a' Ghreadaidh South Top (969.9 m, 0.7 km north-east), is a listed top not profiled here. The key col is close by, only 0.4 km to the north-east at 851 m. Its other name is Sgurr na Banachdaich.
