Hurricane Mesa is an 11,069-foot-elevation (3,374-meter) mountain summit in Park County, Wyoming, United States.
Description
This remote mountain is located approximately six miles (9.7 km) east of Yellowstone National Park in the North Absaroka Wilderness, on land managed by Shoshone National Forest. It is part of the Absaroka Range which is a subrange of Rocky Mountains.

The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, and has appeared in publications since at least 1925.
