Mount Claremont, known previously as Graylands, is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the Town of Cambridge and the City of Nedlands.

The suburb contains the Perth High Performance Centre, the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS), Graylands Hospital, John XXIII College, Wollaston College, and lands owned by the University of Western Australia.
A Transperth bus depot in Brockway Road opened in July 2019 replacing a facility in Shenton Park.

St Peters Square – a higher density development, featuring townhouses oriented around a central park
Old Mount Claremont – the original subdivision, consisting mostly of homes built in the 1940–1950s, including some properties bordering Cottesloe Golf Course
Demographically, Mount Claremont is reported to have a higher proportion of university or other tertiary graduates (23.4%) than the average in Perth (13.5%).

The linked authority identifier is Q6920159. Authority coordinates are -31.962, 115.784. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
