Coalmont is a tiny mining town, 19 km northwest of Princeton, British Columbia, Canada.

Established in about 1911, booming as a result of local coal mines in the 1920's and 1930's, it was essentially closed down in about 1940. Today it is mostly a ghost town although there are still a few residents and businesses, including the Coalmont Hotel (now just a pub) and the Mozey-On-Inn motel.
