Anthony Peak is a mountain located in the Northern Coast Ranges of California north of Mendocino Pass. The summit is the highest point in Mendocino County,[2] and receives snowfall in the winter.[3]

The rare endemic wildflower known as Anthony Peak lupine (Lupinus antoninus) was named for this peak.[4] The peak was probably named for James Anthony, who owned a farm in the Round Valley district in 1874.[5]
