Hogback Mountain (sometimes called Hogsback Mountain) is a large hill located northeast of Klamath Falls, Oregon, in the United States. It got its name because, when you look at it from Klamath Falls, the hill's shape reminds people of a pig's back or shoulders.

- Hunting and using firearms are not permitted without special written permission from the landowners.
