Krzesanica (Slovak: Kresanica) is a mountain in the Western Tatras mountain range, situated on the main ridge of the Tatras between Ciemniak and Małołączniak, on the Polish-Slovak border. It is the highest of the four peaks making up the Czerwone Wierchy group of peaks.[2][3] It is also the highest limestone peak in Western Tatras and in Poland.[1][4]

The mountain is the namesake of a cliff located near the Hala plateau on King George Island.[5]
