Selside Pike is a Lake District fell of 655 m in Westmorland and Furness. It rises only 36 m above its key col, 5.5% of its height.

Its key col leads to High Street, not to its nearest higher summit, Branstree NE Top. All four of its nearest neighbours lie to the south, so it stands at the northern edge of its group. It shares its height of 655 m with Crohane and Muckanaght. Its nearest higher summit, Branstree NE Top (673 m, 0.9 km south), is a listed top not profiled here. Its drop of 36 m makes it a Hewitt but is short of the 150 m a Marilyn needs. The key col is close by, only 0.3 km to the south at 619 m. The highest point is recorded as grassy rise with embedded rocks 40m ssw of windshelter, not a cairn. The database describes the top as a grassy rise with embedded rocks 40m ssw of windshelter.
