The Schwarzhorn is a mountain on the border of Switzerland and Liechtenstein in the Rätikon range of the Eastern Alps. With a height of 2,573 metres (8,442 ft)[2] or 2,574 metres (8,445 ft)[3] above sea level, it is the second highest summit in Liechtenstein.[2]

Sometimes the mountain is listed as Hinter-Grauspitz,[4] but according to reference book "Die Orts- und Flurnamen des Fürstentums Liechtenstein", these are two different mountain peaks.[3]
