Clough Head is a Lake District fell of 726 m in Cumberland. It sits below Great Dodd, only 2.2 km to the south-east and 131 m higher.

Its key col leads to Helvellyn, not to its nearest higher summit, Randerside. Its nearest higher summit, Randerside (729 m, 2.1 km south-east), is a listed top not profiled here. Its drop of 108 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. The summit is marked by a trig point, inside a shelter.
