Triple Divide Peak is a mountain in the Great Western Divide of the Sierra Nevada range in Sequoia National Park. It is 12,600 feet (3,850 m) high.

Near Kaweah Gap, it gains the name from dividing the watersheds of the Kern River, the Kaweah River, and the Kings River. At one time, it was also called The Keystone.Browning, Peter. Place Names of the Sierra Nevada. Berkeley, California: Wilderness Press, 1986. p220]
