Gorny Institute (Russian: Горный Институт), also spelled Gornyi Institut, is a stratovolcano located in the Sredinny Range on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. It lies just east of the Titila volcano and north of the Kebeney volcano.[1]

The volcano is named after the St. Petersburg State Mining Institute which was established by Catherine the Great to oversee the study of mining and mountain geology.
