The Geltenhorn (also spelled Gältehore) is a mountain of the Bernese Alps, located on the border between the Swiss cantons of Bern and Valais. It belongs to the massif of the Wildhorn and lies approximately halfway between the Arpelistock and the summit of the Wildhorn.

The north side of the Geltenhorn is covered by a glacier named Geltengletscher.
