Mount Murchison is a mountain in the Southern Alps in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand. It is the highest point of the Shaler Range, which runs approximately north-south to the east of the Wilberforce River. A col to the east of the peak separates two glaciers, the Kahutea Glacier to the south and the White Glacier to the Northeast.
