Das Geißhorn ist ein rund 2250 m hoher Gipfel in den Tannheimer Bergen.

Der Berg bekam seinen Namen vermutlich dadurch, dass auf der nach Süden gerichteten Flanke einst Geißen der Vilsalpe weideten. Über die genaue Schreibweise sind sich die Kartografen nicht ganz einig, die Bandbreite geht von Gaißhorn über Gaishorn und Geißhorn bis zu Geishorn.
