The[a][1] Paglia Orba (pronounced /ˌpa.ʎa ˈɔːr.ba/) is a mountain peak in the Monte Cinto massif in Corsica. It rises to an altitude of 2,525 metres (8,284 ft), between the valleys of the Golo (in the Niolo) and the Cavicchia (in the Filosorma). Relatively isolated, this peak, notable for its characteristic tooth-shaped silhouette, dominates the Fango Valley and the west coast of the island.
Straddling the municipalities of Albertacce and Manso, Paglia Orba is the second highest peak of the central chain and the Filosorma, behind Punta Minuta at 2,556 metres (8,386 ft).
