Puigpedrós is a mountain located at the border between Catalonia, Spain and the département of Pyrénées-Orientales (France).

Part of the Pyrenees, its summit has an elevation of 2,912 metres above sea level.[1]

According to the Catalan toponymist Lluís Bassede, the name originates from puig (Catalan word for "mountain with a round peak") and pedrós (meaning, "rocky"), due to the amount of rocks found in its peak.[2]
