Stożek Wielki (literally "big cone"), (Czech: Velký Stožek) is a mountain on the border of Poland and the Czech Republic, in the Silesian Beskids. It reaches a height of 978 meters.
The border can be crossed on the top, which is in easy range of the town of Wisła. It has a characteristic conical shape and on its slopes grow beech and coniferous trees.
Already since 1922 there is touristic resort on the mountain (the oldest in the Silesian Beskids), and through a number of hiking routes it is possible to reach other summits and towns such as Kubalonka, Czantoria Wielka, Soszów Wielki and down into Wisła, Wisła Głębce, Istebna, Jaworzynka and Jabłonków.
The so-called Main Route of the Beskids (Polish: Główny Szlak Beskidzki), the major hiking trail in the region, also crosses the top.
