Masherbrum is a mountain in the Karakoram region of the Pakistani Himalayas.

In 1856, T.G. Montgomerie, a British Royal Engineers lieutenant, noticed a tall mountain in the Karakorams and called it K1 (denoting peak 1 of the Karakorams). To the local people of the area, it is known as Masherbrum.

Masherbrum was first climbed in 1960 by George Bell and Willi Unsoeld of a American-Pakistan expedition.
