Tuolumne Peak is a mountain, in Yosemite National Park, in the area of Tuolumne Meadows. It is a fractured granite, twin summited peak, and is close to geographic center of the park. Tuolumne Peak is located approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) northeast of Mount Hoffmann via a granite ridge-line. It is climbed less often than Hoffman, probably due to a more difficult approach.

The mountain is in Mariposa County.

There is rock climbing, on Tuolumne Peak.

Tenaya Glacier had effects, at least near Tuolumne Peak, during the Wisconsin Glacial Stage, over-topping the ridge that connects Tuolumne Peak to Mount Hoffman, isolating both tops.
