Ñuñu Qullu (Aymara ñuñu breast, qullu mountain,[2] "breast mountain", also spelled Nunu Kkollu) is a 4,508-metre-high (14,790 ft) mountain in the Andes of Bolivia. It is situated in the Oruro Department, Pantaleón Dalence Province, Huanuni Municipality. Ñuñu Qullu lies north-west of the mountain Ch'iyara Ch'ankha and near the mountain Janq'u Qalani, south-west of it.[1][3]

The river Lamama Mayu (Quechua for "stepmother river") originates at the feet of the mountains Ñuñu Qullu and Janq'u Qalani. It flows to the south-west where it meets Huanuni River.[1]
