Mount Tom is a mountain located in Grafton County, New Hampshire, about 1.5 mi. (2.5 km) southwest of the height of land of Crawford Notch. The mountain is named after Thomas Crawford, whose family ran the Crawford House. Mount Tom is part of the Willey Range of the White Mountains. Tom is flanked to the south by Mount Field.

Mt. Tom is drained on the east by Crawford Brook and on the west by Zealand River. Both are tributaries of the Ammonoosuc River, which drains into the Connecticut and thence into Long Island Sound.
