Sugarloaf is a 552m (1,811feet) peak in west Wicklow, Ireland that lies on the northern edge of the Glen of Imaal. With a prominence of only 14m (46feet), it is not listed in any of the recognised categories of mountains in Ireland, and is a subsidiary summit of Lobawn 636m (2,087feet), to the north.[1]

Sugarloaf should not be confused with the better known Great Sugar Loaf 501m (1,644feet), and the Little Sugar Loaf 342m (1,122feet) in the northeastern section of the Wicklow Mountains.[2]
