Falak Sher (also known as Falak Sar) is a mountain in Pakistan (elevation 5,918 m). It is considered the highest peak of Swat Kohistan in the Hindu Kush mountains.

This mountain was climbed for the first time by W.K.A Berry and C.H. Tyndale-Biscoe of New Zealand in 1957 from its North ridge. The second ascent was made by Dr. Wolf Gang Stephen who also climbed Distaghil Sar and also Malika Parbat. Carlo Pinelli attempted another peak in the Hindu Raj which is the only 6000 of this part of Hindu Kush. They named it Maingol Sar.
