Madera Peak is a 10,509-foot-elevation (3,203-meter) mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Madera County, California, United States. It is situated in the Ansel Adams Wilderness on land managed by Sierra National Forest. Madera Peak is the southernmost summit of an ancient ridge from which the Clark Range formed. The mountain is set 2.2 miles (3.5 km) south-southeast of Gale Peak, and topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,600 feet (490 meters) above Lady Lake in 0.38 miles (0.61 km). Precipitation runoff from this landform drains into tributaries of the San Joaquin River.
