'''High Stones''', at {{convert|548|m|ft|0}}, is the highest point within the boundaries of both the City of Sheffield and South Yorkshire, England.<ref name=Bathurst_2012/>

High Stones lies on the Howden Moors towards in the northern Peak District National Park, between Langsett Reservoir to the north-east and Howden Reservoir to the south-west. The area is managed by the National Trust, as part of the Nether Hey area of their High Peak Estate.

== Representation on mapping == High Stones is about {{convert|1|mi|km|1}} south of Margery Hill which, at 546m, is the highest marked point within Sheffield. High Stones is only shown on 1:25,000 scale maps and larger.

The cairn at High Stones is at the marked {{convert|548|m|ft|0}} point; being something over two feet tall means that the top of the cairn is just over 1800&nbsp;ft above sea level.
