The Wildstrubel is a mountain of the Bernese Alps, located on the border between the Swiss cantons of Bern and Valais, east of the Plaine Morte.
The mountain has three summits, all of similar height and located on the cantonal border, although within the Rhine basin:
- The western summit (the Lenkerstrubel, named Wildstrubel on Swiss maps) (3,243.5 m)
- The central summit (named Mittelgipfel on Swiss maps) (3,243.5 m)
- The eastern summit (the Adelbodnerstrubel or Grossstrubel) (3,242.6 m)

These three summits, strung out along a 3.5-km ridge, make a convenient traverse. The western summit can be reached by a trail from Lenk. The three summits and the Schneehorn on the south-east form an amphitheatre oriented east, containing a large glacier named Wildstrubelgletscher.
The third or fourth recorded ascent was by Leslie Stephen and Thomas W. Hinchliff with guide Melchior Anderegg on 11 September 1858
