Mount San Antonio, better known to most Angelenos as Old Baldy or Mount Baldy, is the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California, USA. While not as unique in its landscape as Seattle's Mount Rainier, they are similar in being easily sighted for miles around their urban settings. Baldy's snow-capped peaks are usually visible on clear days and stand in contast the pervasive gray-green of the remaining L.A. landscape.

The peak, located in San Bernardino County, is called baldy because of the absence of trees around the summit.
