Graveyard Peak is an {{convert|11,539|ft|meter|adj=mid|-elevation|abbr=off|sp=us}} mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Fresno County of northern California, United States. It is situated in the John Muir Wilderness, on land managed by Sierra National Forest. Graveyard Peak ranks as the 535th-highest summit in California, and topographic relief is significant as the south aspect rises over {{convert|2,300|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} above Devils Bathtub in approximately one mile. It is two miles southeast of Silver Peak, five miles north of Lake Thomas A Edison, and approximately {{convert|13|mi}} south of the community of Mammoth Lakes. The peak is set on Silver Divide, so precipitation runoff from the north side of this mountain drains into Fish Creek which is a tributary of the San Joaquin River, and from the south slope to Lake Thomas A Edison. The peak is most easily reached out of Lake Thomas Edison.{{Cite web |title=Graveyard Peak : Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering : SummitPost |url=https://www.summitpost.org/graveyard-peak/155112 |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=www.summitpost.org}}
