Hrubý Jeseník (German: Altvatergebirge or Hohes Gesenke, Polish: Jesionik Wysoki, English: High Ash Mountains) is a mountain range of Eastern Sudetes in northern Moravia and Czech Silesia. It is the second highest mountain range in the Czech Republic.
Its best known natural sights include:
- Praděd, its highest mountain
- A powerful pumped storage plant, Dlouhé stráně
- Natural reserve Rejvíz, with moss lakes
- The town of Jeseník – Priessnitz spa (from a strictly geomorphic point of view Jeseník lies in a valley that is an extension of Opawskie Mountains ("Zlatohorská vrchovina"), but being partially surrounded by Hrubý Jeseník, the town is commonly associated with it)
- Devil Stones ("Čertovy kameny"), Peter's Stones ("Petrovy kameny")
