Anderson Peak is an 8,683-foot-elevation (2,647 meter) mountain summit in Placer County, California, United States.

Anderson Peak is located 4 miles (6.4 km) south-southeast of Donner Pass, on land managed by Tahoe National Forest.

Topographic relief is modest as the summit rises nearly 2,700 feet (820 meters) above North Fork American River in two miles.

The Pacific Crest Trail traverses the peak, providing an approach option from Donner Pass or Palisades Tahoe.

As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
