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 from the border with Derbyshire, which runs along the nearest road, approximately 2 kilometres east of Hathersage. Higger Tor overlooks the hill fort of Carl Wark to the southeast.
