Middle Butte is a 6,391-foot elevation (1,948 m) summit located in Bingham County, Idaho, United States.

Middle Butte is situated 40 miles east of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, 35 miles west of the community of Idaho Falls, and can be seen from Highway 20 midway between Idaho Falls and Arco at milepost 271.

Topographic relief is modest as the summit rises over 1,000 feet (300 meters) above the Eastern Snake River Plain in one-half mile.

This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.
