The Sierra Alpujata is a mountain range in southern Spain, part of the coastal mountain range that lies behind the Costa del Sol Occidental, in Andalusia.

Due to its mineral constitution, vegetation is very sparse, despite several attempts at restocking pines and eucalyptus trees.

The predominant vegetation consists of juniper and shrubland.

Geologically the range is the relic of an ancient submarine stratovolcano, which formed at the same time than the Sierra Blanca and the Sierra de Mijas.
