The 5 Peaks Challenge is a hill climbing challenge in the British Isles. The aim is to ascend and descend the highest peak in each of England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales within 48 hours, including all travelling, and without breaking national speed limits or recommended driving times. It is an extension of the National Three Peaks Challenge, which includes the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales.

The five peaks are:

• Scafell Pike (978 m or 3,209 ft), in England
• Slieve Donard (849 m or 2,786 ft), in Northern Ireland
• Carrauntoohil (1,038 m or 3,406 ft), in the Republic of Ireland
• Ben Nevis (1,344 m or 4,406 ft), in Scotland
• Snowdon (1,085 m or 3,560 ft), in Wales
