Rough Tor is a granite tor on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, rising to 400 meters and ranking as the second-highest point in the county. It is formed of granite and comprises the summit tor and a logan stone, alongside older archaeological features on the same site including a Neolithic tor enclosure and numerous Bronze Age hut circles. Rough Tor lies about one mile northwest of Brown Willy, Cornwall's highest point, and together with Showery Tor and Little Rough Tor it forms a prominent granite ridge on the moor.
