The Baltoro Muztagh (simplified Chinese: 巴尔托洛慕士塔格山; traditional Chinese: 巴爾托洛慕士塔格山; pinyin: Bā'ěrtuōluò Mùshìtǎgé Shān, Urdu: بلتورو موز تاغ) is a subrange within the Karakoram mountain range. It spans across the Baltistan region of Gilgit-Baltistan, which is the northernmost political entity of Pakistan, and extends into Xinjiang, China. The crest of this range also serves as part of the border between Pakistan and China.

The range is home to K2 which has an elevation of 8,611 metres (28,251 ft) above sea level, which is also the second highest mountain in the world. Additionally, it is home to three other eight-thousander peaks, all located on the north and east sides of the Baltoro Glacier.
