Mentor (/ˈmɛntər/ MEN-tər; Locally, /ˈmɛnnər/ MEN-nər) is a city in Lake County, Ohio, United States, located on the south shore of Lake Erie. A suburb northeast of Cleveland, it is part of the Greater Cleveland metropolitan area; its population of 47,450 at the 2020 census makes it the largest city in Lake County.
Mentor was settled in 1797. In 1876, James A. Garfield purchased a home there, from which he conducted the first successful front porch campaign for the presidency; the house is now maintained as the James A. Garfield National Historic Site. The city is home to Headlands Beach State Park, the longest public swimming beach in Ohio.
