Weaver's Needle is a thousand foot high column of rock that rises from the desert floor and dominates the land for thirty miles around. Located in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, Arizona, Weaver's Needle is a weathered volcanic plug with a summit elevation of 4553 ft. It is set in a desert landscape of cactus and mesquite bush, with towering Saguaro cacti particularly prominent. Weaver's Needle has played a significant role in the stories of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine and the Needle's shadow reportedly indicates the location of a rich vein of gold.

The peak was named after mountain man Pauline Weaver.
