Storegut is a mountain on the border of Vang Municipality in Innlandet county and Luster Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The 1962m (6,437feet) tall mountain is located in the Jotunheimen mountains and inside the Jotunheimen National Park. The mountain sits about north of the village of Tyinkrysset. The mountain is surrounded by several other notable mountains including Uranostinden and Langeskavltinden to the west, Langeskavlen to the southwest, Høgbrothøgdi to the east, and Snøholstinden and Store Rauddalseggje to the northeast.
The name is a compound word made up of stor which means 'big' and gut which means 'boy', therefore together, the name means "Big Boy". It is common to compare mountains with persons in many Norwegian place names.
