Cold Pike is a Lake District fell of 700.1 m in Cumberland, Westmorland and Furness. All four of its nearest neighbours are higher, up to Crinkle Crags – Long Top at 859 m.

Its key col leads to Scafell Pike, not to its nearest higher summit, Pike of Blisco. Its drop of 46.1 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. The key col is close by, only 0.4 km to the north-west at 654 m. It falls on two OS 1:50,000 sheets, 89 and 90.
