'''Stac Levenish''' or '''Stac Leibhinis''' (sometimes simply called '''Levenish'''/'''Leibhinis''') is a [[Stack (geology)|sea stack]] in the [[St Kilda, Scotland|St Kilda]] [[archipelago]] in [[Scotland]]. Lying {{convert|2.5|km|nmi|frac=4|abbr=off}} off Village Bay on [[Hirta]], it is part of the rim of an extinct volcano that includes [[Dùn, St Kilda|Dùn]], Ruaival and Mullach Sgar.<ref name=Smith/><br />
<br />
The stack is {{convert|62|m|ft|0|abbr=out}} high. Its north cliff appears to have the profile of a human face, visible when travelling to St Kilda from the east. The [[skerry]] of Na Bodhan lies to the north east.<br />

<br />
The stack was climbed recreationally in the early 1900s; [[Norman Heathcote]] mentions a moderately difficult ascent in 1900, as part of a climbing expedition that also included an ascent of [[Stac Lee]].<ref>{{cite journal<br />
