Mount Langley is located on the crest of the Sierra Nevada, on the border of Inyo and Tulare counties, in eastern California in the southwestern United States. To the east is Owens Valley, and to the west is the Kern River Valley. It is the ninth highest peak in the state and the seventh highest in the Sierras. Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States, lies 4.8 miles (7.7 km) to the northwest. The Geological survey marker at the summit shows an elevation of 14,042 feet.

Today, the mountain is named after Samuel Pierpont Langley. In the early 1870s, it was confused with Mount Whitney by early climbers, and called by this name. When the mistake was realized, the peak was alternately called Mount Corcoran, Cirque Peak, or Sheep Mountain; the former two names being later attached to other mountains. But its current name became established in local usage, and was made official by the USGS.

Mount Langley is one of the easiest of California's fourteeners to climb. A hiking trail starts at nearby Horseshoe Meadow (elevation of around 10,000 feet (3,048 m)), passes scenic Cottonwood Lakes, and climbs through New Army Pass. From there climbers make their way across a mountain meadow and up a long gradual slope of rock and gravel before making a Class 1 scramble to the summit. New Army Pass is 7 miles (11 km) from the trailhead at Horseshoe Meadow and is an easier but longer approach to Langley than Old Army Pass, which can become impassable due to snow.

The first recorded clim mountain was 1871 by Clarence King and the French mountaineer Paul Pinson.
