Hkusam Mountain is a mountain on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, located 10 km (6 mi) southeast of Sayward and 36 km (22 mi) northeast of Victoria Peak.^[2]

The name of the mountain is derived from the Kʼómoks word for "having fat or oil", probably a reference to the proximity of the Salmon River.^[3]
