Der Geißfuß ist ein Berg zwischen Nebelhorn und Rubihorn in den Allgäuer Alpen.

Der Geißfuß ist ein unscheinbarer Gipfel in den Allgäuer Alpen, der die direkte Sicht von Oberstdorf auf das Nebelhorn verhindert. Der 1981 m hohe Gipfel bietet einen großartigen Ausblick auf das hintere Illertal und Oberstdorf und wird vergleichsweise wenig begangen. Auf der Westseite des Berges wurden in den 1970er Jahren Lawinenverbauungen errichtet, um die unterhalb gelegene Seealpe vor Lawinen zu schützen.
