Red Pike is a fell in the English Lake District. It is 826 m or 2,709 ft high and lies due north of Wast Water. It is often climbed as part of the Mosedale Horseshoe, a walk which also includes Pillar.
The fell can be confused with Red Pike (Buttermere), not least because its namesake is only three miles (five kilometres) away, so according to Alfred Wainwright it is conventional to call it Wasdale Red Pike.
