Starorobociański Wierch – a peak at 2176 m a.s.l. in the Western Tatra Mountains. It is the highest peak in the Polish part of the Western Tatras. It is located in the main ridge of the Tatras on the Polish-Slovak border. To the west, it borders Konczysty Wierch (Konczysty Wierch) through Starorobociańska Przełęcz, and to the east, it borders Siwy Zwornik (Siwy Zwornik) through Gaborowa Przełęcz. The northern slopes descend steeply into the glacial cirque of the Starorobociański Valley. To the south, a short ridge branches off, the western slopes of which descend into the Zadnia Raczkowa Valley, and the eastern slopes descend into the Gaborowa Valley.

In winter, large avalanches can occur from the slopes of Starorobociański Wierch. Starorobociański Wierch is located within the Polish and Slovak Tatra National Parks.
The summit offers views of the Western Tatra Mountains, the High Tatra Mountains, the Low Tatra Mountains, the Żywiec-Orava Beskid Mountains, the Gorce Mountains, the Wyspowy Beskid, and the Sącz Beskid Mountains.
