Mount Abraham is a mountain located in Franklin County, Maine. Mount Abraham is flanked to the north by Spaulding Mountain.

The northeast side of Mt. Abraham is drained by Rapid Stream, thence into the West Branch of the Carrabassett River, the Kennebec River, and into the Gulf of Maine. The southern half of the southwest side drains into Quick Stream, thence into the West Branch. The northern half drains into Perham Stream, thence into Orbeton Stream, and the Sandy River, another tributary of the Kennebec.

The Appalachian Trail, a 2,170-mile (3,500-km) National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine, runs between Saddleback Junior and Spaulding, passing 2 mi. (3 km) northwest of the summit of Abraham.
