Mae West Peaks is a pair of summits in Cochise County, Arizona. The taller of the two was formerly known as Lime Peak and the elevation and coordinates in the infobox refer to this peak. They are in the Little Dragoon Mountains, northwest of Texas Canyon and 3.3miles west-southwest of the ghost town of Johnson, Arizona.

These summits were named for their shape, which were thought to be reminiscent of the figure of the actress Mae West.[3]

The 6655feet Lime Peak is 1.8miles to the northeast which is also in the Little Dragoon Mountains.[4]
