The Dent d'Oche is a mountain in the Haute-Savoie region of France, in the Chablais massif, near the Swiss-French border, that rises to 2,221 meters (7,287 ft) in altitude. It towers above Évian, Thonon, and Lake Geneva. It offers a view of the French and Swiss Alps and the Swiss prealps.

It is the northernmost summit above 2,000 m (6,600 ft) in France.

About 100 m (330 ft) below the summit is a refuge of the French Alpine Club, the refuge de la Dent d'Oche. In summer, the summit and the refuge can be reached by a moderate hike. However, the north face route, with a rise of 350 m (1,150 ft), is one the most difficult of the Chablais Alps. Certain sections require extensive technical skill.
