Mount Everest in popular culture

This is a list of media content related to Mount Everest, the Earth's highest mountain, with an elevation of 8848 m above sea level. Mount Everest was identified as such in the 19th century as a result of a geographical survey conducted by the British Empire. A century later it was climbed, after some infamous attempts in the preceding decades.

During the 20th and 21st centuries, the notoriety of Mount Everest increased and it became a common subject of novels and films, often focusing on particular expeditions or events at the mountain. For example, the 1998 film Everest was the highest grossing IMAX film up to that time, and some novels in the genre have sold millions of copies.
