Orrest Head is a fell in the Lake District on the eastern shores of Lake Windermere. It is one of Wainwright's Outlying Fells of the English Lake District - and the first fell he climbed. On the summit is a panorama naming the key visible fells which include the Old Man of Coniston, Scafell Pike and Fairfield.

Orrest Head is typically climbed directly from Windermere near the station. Access is made via a road which reaches most of the way to the summit.
