Kholat Syakhl, a transliteration in Russian of Holatchahl, meaning "Dead Mountain" in Mansi[1] (lit. Мёртвая гора Myortvaya gora in Russian[citation needed]) is a mountain in the northern Ural region of Russia.

The name of this mountain pass simply means "lack of game"[citation needed] for Mansi hunters. The Mansi word kholat (meaning "dead" or "meager") is a relatively common name on their territory and is part of at least 3 other topographic objects.

On February 2, 1959, a group of ski hikers led by Igor Dyatlov mysteriously perished on the east shoulder of the mountain.
