Der Weiherkopf ist ein 1665 m hoher Gipfel der Hörnergruppe in den Allgäuer Alpen.

Der Weiherkopf liegt im Naturpark Nagelfluhkette und ist ein recht mächtiger Gipfel. Von Wiesen und Wald bewachsen, bietet er einen schönen Ausblick vom Grünten bis zum Großen Widderstein. Erreicht wird der Weiherkopf sehr gut über einen kurzen, steilen Weg von der Bergstation der Bolsterlanger Hörnerbahn oder direkt mit der Weiherkopf-Bergbahn. Im Sommer wird der Gipfel von Gleitschirmfliegern gern als Startplatz genutzt. Auch Wanderer nutzen den Panoramaweg für schöne, aussichtsreiche Touren. Im Winter gibt es eine Abfahrt und eine Slalomstrecke und auch Touren- und Schneeschuhgänger kommen gerne auf den Weiherkopf.
