Tipton Peak is a 10,941-foot elevation (3,335 m) summit located in Elko County, Nevada, United States.

Tipton Peak is set along the crest of the Ruby Mountains which are a subset of the Great Basin Ranges.

Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) above Ruby Valley in three miles (4.8 km).
