Baker Mountain is a {{convert|2454|ft|m|-tall|adj=mid}} mountain in Essex County, New York east of Saranac Lake. It is part of the McKenzie Mountain Wilderness Area. The trail to the top is about 0.9-miles long; the hike is part of the "Saranac Sixer". Moody Pond lies at its foot.
It is one of three small mountains surrounding Saranac Lake: the others are Mount Pisgah and Dewey Mountain.
There were major forest fires on Baker in 1903 and 1908.
The first recorded ascent of Baker Mountain on skis was made by Edwin R. Stonaker on March 11, 1916.{{Cite book|last=Gallos|first=Phillip|title=Cure Cottages of Saranac Lake|publisher=Historic Saranac Lake|year=1985|isbn=0-9615159-0-2|location=Saranac Lake, New York|pages=137}}
