Sgurr nan Eag is a Munro of 926.3 m in Highland. All four of its nearest neighbours are higher, up to Sgurr Alasdair at 992 m.

Its key col leads to Sgurr Alasdair, not to its nearest higher summit, Sgurr Dubh an Da Bheinn. All four of its nearest neighbours lie to the north, so it stands at the southern edge of its group. It shares its height of 926.3 m with Geal Charn (Highland, NN561987). On the Munros height ladder it sits between Beinn Narnain (926.8 m) and Geal Charn (Highland, NN561987) (926.3 m). It is a Munro but not a Marilyn: its 130.3 m of drop is short of 150 m. Its nearest higher summit, Sgurr Dubh an Da Bheinn (938.6 m, 0.9 km north), is a listed top not profiled here.
