Vernon Bailey Peak is a 6,672-foot-elevation (2,034-meter) summit in Brewster County, Texas, United States.

It ranks as the 12th-highest peak in Big Bend National Park and 77th-highest in Texas.

[4] Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,070 feet (631 m) above Oak Canyon in 0.5 miles (0.80 km).

[5] Any scant precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into Oak Creek which is part of the Rio Grande watershed.

The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1945 by the United States Board on Geographic Names to remember Vernon Orlando Bailey (1864–1942), American naturalist who specialized in mammalogy and is best known for his biological surveys of Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Oregon.
