The Moose's Tooth, Technical climbing peak in Denali National Park, Alaska.

The Moose's Tooth is a 3,139-metre rock peak on the east side of the Ruth Gorge in the Central Alaska Range, 24 km southeast of Denali. Its summit ridge runs east–west for about a mile with steep drops north and south, giving it the shape of a moose's tooth. The east face rises above the Buckskin Glacier, and the peak is the chief of a complex including Eye Tooth, Sugar Tooth and Broken Tooth.

The summit was first reached in June 1964 by four German climbers: Walter Welsch, Klaus Bierl, Arnold Hasenkopf, and Alfons Reichegger. This early ascent marked an important moment in the exploration of the Ruth Gorge massif.

The peak takes its name from a translation provided by the United States Geological Survey based on Athabaskan language roots. This naming reflects the connection between the mountain and the indigenous cultures of the Alaska Range region.

Access is by ski plane to the Buckskin Glacier, on the east side of the peak complex, or to the Root Canal, a glacial landing strip on the south side. The Ham and Eggs couloir on the south face is the most popular route to the main summit. The least technical line, the west ridge, is made difficult by the summit ridge's long, low-angled run.

The Ham and Eggs Route, first established in 1975, is a popular climbing path with approximately 760 meters of vertical gain. This route remains one of the most frequently used paths to the summit for climbers with advanced skills.
