Volovec (in Slovak) or Wołowiec (in Polish) is a mountain in the Western Tatras at the border of Slovakia and Poland. It lies on the main ridge of Western Tatras between Ostrý Roháč and mountain Deravá, standing over three valleys: Chochołowską, Roháčska and Jamnícka. It offers views over the Polish Western Tatras, and Slovak Roháče.

On the north stands the dome of Babia Góra. On the west lie below the Roháčske Ponds."
