Wether Hill is a Lake District fell of 672.5 m in Westmorland and Furness. It barely stands apart: the summit is only 4.3 m above the col joining it to higher ground.

It overtops all four of its nearest neighbours; the tallest of them, Loadpot Hill, reaches 672 m. Its key col leads to High Street, not to its nearest higher summit, Wether Hill. It shares its height of 672.5 m with Great Knoutberry Hill. On the Wainwrights height ladder it sits between Bakestall (673.5 m) and Scar Crags (672.2 m). Its nearest higher summit, Wether Hill (675.7 m, 0.5 km south), is a listed top not profiled here. The key col is close by, only 0.2 km to the south-east at 668.2 m. The highest point is recorded as no feature: rough grass, not a cairn.
