Das Ulrichshorn ist ein 3925 m hoher Gipfel in der Mischabelgruppe in den Walliser Alpen.
Der Gipfel kann entweder von der Mischabelhütte aus bestiegen werden, von der Borderihütte über den Nordgrat von Riedpass oder über den Nadelgrat. Vom südwestlich liegenden Windjoch zieht ein Grat zum Ulrichshorn. Dieser bildet die Fortsetzung des Nordostgrates des Nadelhorns. 

Oben angekommen, bietet das Ulrichshorn einen schönen Ausblick auf die Lenzspitze, das Nadelhorn und den Nadelgrat.

Die Erstbesteigung gelang im Jahre 1848 dem Schweizer Alpinisten Melchior Ulrich. Nach ihm ist der Berg benannt.
