Tête de l'Autaret, Mountain summit on the France–Italy border in the Cottian Alps, Piedmont and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Tête de l'Autaret is a 3,015-metre mountain on the main Alpine watershed between the Varaita di Bellino valley in Italy and the Ubaye valley in France. Its three main ridges radiate roughly symmetrically: north along the border crest, west-southwest down to the Col de l'Autaret (2,875 m), and east-southeast toward the Autaret granges. The eastern face above the Bellino valley is steep, while the other slopes are grassy and gentler. The rock is entirely greenschist of the ophiolite-bearing complex.

The name Autaret, shared by several peaks and passes of the western Alps (also as Lautaret), is traced by Jaccard to the Latin altar, from pre-Christian altars once set in these places; D'Amico instead derives it from the Celtic root aut, meaning an elevated place. The summit lies on the main Alpine watershed, on the border between the Italian comune of Bellino and the French commune of Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye.

The name Autaret, shared by several peaks and passes in the western Alps, is traced by Jaccard to the Latin altar, linked to pre-Christian altars once set in these places; D'Amico instead derives it from the Celtic root aut, meaning an elevated place. The summit marks the border between Bellino and Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye.

The main climbing route begins at Sant'Anna di Bellino and follows a path through the Gole delle Barricate gorge, passing an abandoned military shelter. Proper footwear and preparation are important as the route crosses mountainous terrain with varying steepness.

The summit's topographic prominence is only 101 metres, so the col de l'Autaret (2,875 m) just west-southwest of the top is a shallow saddle rather than a deep gap. The mountain is built entirely of calcescisti, the greenstones of Gastaldi's ophiolite-bearing complex.
