Mount Hancock is a mountain located in Grafton County, New Hampshire, named after John Hancock (1737–1793), one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.
The mountain is on the south side of the Pemigewasset Wilderness, the source of the Pemigewasset River in the heart of the White Mountains, between Franconia Notch and Crawford Notch. Hancock is flanked to the northeast by Mount Carrigain, to the south by Mount Huntington, and to the west by Mount Hitchcock.
