Der Falkenstein ist ein Berggipfel auf einer Höhe von 1115 m und befindet sich im Oberallgäu.
Der Falkenstein ist die höchste Erhebung auf dem Rottachberg, dem Bergmassiv zwischen dem Illertal und Rettenberg/Kranzegg. Der Berg bietet eine schöne aussichtsreiche Voralpentour für Wanderer, die den Gipfel von allen Seiten aus erreichen können. Direkt unter dem Gipfel befinden sich die Kletterfelsen des Rottachberg, einem der besten Allgäuer Klettergebiete.
