Ocate Peak, Mountain summit in Mora County, New Mexico, US.

Ocate Peak is a volcano in Mora County, northeastern New Mexico, rising to 2,377 meters above sea level, about 89 meters above the surrounding terrain. It sits just southeast of the community of Ocate, with State Road 120 passing north of it. The peak is a landmark on the old Santa Fe Trail.

The mountain served as a key landmark for travelers following the Santa Fe Trail during early trade routes. In the 19th century, merchants shifted to using the Cimarron Cutoff instead, reducing its importance.

The name derives from a Nahuatl word for pine, and the older name Ocate Crater records the volcano's form. The peak stood just west of the Santa Fe Trail's mountain route through Rayado and Ocate, so travellers bound for Santa Fe passed beneath it.

State Road 120 runs just north of Ocate Peak, southeast of the community of Ocate. The peak rises about 89 metres above the surrounding terrain, and the summit stands at 2,377 metres. No maintained trails are documented; the surrounding land is mostly scrub and grassland, and fewer than two people live per square kilometre in the area.

Ocate Peak was long known as Ocate Crater, a name that records its volcanic origin. Before the Cimarron Cutoff opened, Santa Fe Trail travellers kept to the mountains and passed west of the peak, using it as a landmark on the way through Rayado to Ocate.
