Higger Tor is a gritstone tor in the Burbage Valley, in the Peak District of England.
It stands in the county of South Yorkshire, about 200 metres (220 yd) from the border with Derbyshire, which runs along the nearest road, approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east of Hathersage. Higger Tor overlooks the hill fort of Carl Wark to the southeast. It is believed to be an ancient fortification from the iron ages, possibly the 5th or 6th centuries BC.
