The Lauterbacher Knochen is a 683-metre-high (2,241 ft) peak about one kilometre north of the village of Lauterbach in the municipality of Marienberg in the Ore Mountains. At the summit there is a historic station which was part of the Royal Saxon Triangulation Network.

To the south the Annahöhe, the Steinhübel, the Hirtstein and the Dreibrüderhöhe may be made out. To the southwest is the Pöhlberg, and on the horizon the Fichtelberg and Keilberg can be recognised.
